Public Health Insight
How Marketing, Communications, & PR Can Boost Public Health Impact
What does public health have to gain from public relations? In this episode of the Public Health Insight Podcast, we speak with Alexson Calahan—Founder of Small Adventures Communications and a seasoned public relations expert with nearly 20 years of experience about her unconventional journey from selling classified ads to how she turned a data inquiry from the Today Show into a $100K gift for congenital heart defect research.
Whether you're in public health, comms, or curious about how stories shape change—this one’s for you.
