Dunham" 04/10/98 04:12pm >>> The Northwest Center for Public Health Practice, in cooperation with the Washington State Department of Health, is pleased to announce the launching of another email listserv: waphgis. This electronic mailing list is intended to foster discussion of issues surrounding the use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) for public health purposes. The GIS and Health listserv sponsored by the Northwest Center for Public Health Practice at the University of Washington is being set up initially to start a discussion about applications, GIS based public health studies, technical, organizational, policy and funding issues around using GIS for public health matters in WA State. In short, the goal is to see how best to apply GIS in solving public health problems whether in Washington State or elsewhere. We strongly encourage people interested in GIS as applied to public health whether actually doing GIS work or not to participate and listen from anywhere in the world. What is going on in Washington State may be useful to others and vice versa. The working language will be English, but responses in other languages will be accepted. We need input from anyone who has an answer or point of view. All you need to subscribe to the list is an email account. To subscribe to the list, send a message to listproc@u.washington.edu with the request "subscribe waphgis" followed by your name in the body of the message, like so: subscribe waphgis Jane Doe. You will receive a message shortly after that asking you to confirm your subscription request. Respond to that message, and you will then receive a message confirming your subscription, along with a welcome message telling you about the list. If anyone needs help subscribing, or if you have any other problems with the list, contact Phillip Dunham, the list manager: Phillip Dunham, Training Coordinator, INPHO Project, Northwest Center for Public Health Practice, University of Washington at voice (206)616-9245 or email pdunham@u.washington.edu The list moderator will be Dick Hoskins, WA State Department of Health, GIS and Spatial Epidemiology Unit, and can be reached at voice (360) 705-6050 or email REH0303@hub.doh.wa.gov Richard E.
