The Public Health Vocabulary Community of Practice (PHVCoP) has facilitated dialogue and problem solving around vocabulary development, usage, and distribution within public health since 2006. PHVCoP members have invited their messaging colleagues to join the community to share ideas, identify collaborative efforts, and begin to develop solutions to solving common public health vocabulary and messaging challenges. The expanded community is called the Vocabulary and Messaging CoP (VMCoP).
