In this episode, sit down with Jollyn Tyryfter, Assistant Extension Professor in the MU Department of Public Health and state lead for PSE, and Janelle Azmy, MU Extension CHEO Specialist in the Urban East region. They share how their collaboration as members of the Built Environment Issue Team has strengthened their impact and how specialists in Nutrition and Health, HDFS, and CHEO can work together to drive meaningful change. We discuss how different areas of expertise complement one another in community work, what specialists can learn from each other, and how interdisciplinary teamwork within HHS can enhance our approach to improving community health and well-being.
