Amy McManus, MA, MPH

About

I'm a Communicable Disease Investigator with the Village of Skokie Health and Human Services Department. My interests are infectious disease prevention, reproductive rights, and public health education, outreach, and advocacy. I'm passionate about working to reduce stigma and improve health outcomes in underserved populations. Public health as social justice. I'm appreciative of the unusual; interested in new paths to audience engagement, odd juxtapositions, unexpected alliances.
