Our ever-increasing use of technology has not only changed how people consume health information but emphasized the importance of digital communication in healthcare. Digital engagement and multimedia specialist Alex Smith is passionate about helping public health leaders adopt new and innovative ways to communicate. He joins us from Oklahoma today to discuss the work he is currently doing as Creative Director of the Southern Plains Tribal Health Board (SPTHB).

This conversation is part of a special series of sponsored episodes, where you’ll learn about the Tribal Epidemiology Centers (TEC) from the public health professionals working within those communities.

Tuning in, you’ll find out how Alex promotes continued digital transformation at SPTHB and seeks to build a people-first brand that puts the needs of tribal communities first. You’ll discover how he is addressing the challenges of communicating health information in today’s digital world, the importance of adopting a heart-centered servant mentality, the power of creative storytelling, and so much more.

Alex urges digital storytellers to acknowledge and understand the virtual ecosystems that we operate in. He also shares his advice and insights for exploiting creative storytelling for the purposes of advocacy and community awareness. Be sure to tune in today!
