Welcome

Welcome to SEATLPHB (Southeast Atlanta Public Health Blog). It’s a mouthful and probably sounds like a bar in the Pacific Northwest, but it’s the most descriptive acronym we could come up with (yet).

We’ll be publishing articles about Public Health and Safety issues as they relate to the communities in Southeast Atlanta including East Atlanta, Grant Park and S.A.N.D (South Atlantans for Neighborhood Development).

During these first few months we’ll be covering issues ranging from vaccine safety, finding a specialist, injury prevention and managing allergies to profiling local institutions, clinicians and discussing politics and stem cells.

As we grow and bring in more contributors we hope to introduce voices of local public health figures, schools, and organizations.
