Community Conversation was a live one-hour town meeting, with a live audience that aired on April 4, 2000, during National Public Health Week. The purpose of Community Conversation was to explore different facets of public health in the state of New Jersey. The town meeting focused on accomplishments, goals and objectives, challenges and a look at how media and technology fit into public health in the state.
