Arclet Access Fund

A recent national study in the Journal of Public Health Management & Practice finds that nearly half of government public health workers spend time on communications, but only 11% actually hold communications roles—and 73% have been in their current job for five years or less. Communications is essential, yet consistently under-resourced, overstretched, and undervalued.

The Arclet Access Fund aims to help close that gap.

Arclet is a platform built by and for public health practitioners to make it easier to find, customize, and share trusted health messages—without starting from scratch. The platform also includes Arli, an AI health communications co-pilot that helps teams adapt messaging for their audiences.

After your one-month free trial, we encourage you to join as a paid subscriber to support our mission of making health information accessible to all. However, no one will be turned away for lack of funds. We’re here to work with you to find a plan that meets your needs, because everyone deserves access to high quality tools. If cost is a concern, please reach out to us.

Arclet Access Fund: 2025 National Conference on Health Communication, Media & Marketing

In June 2025, we launched the Arclet Access Fund to help make public health communications more inclusive and connected.

Using a portion of our NC IDEA grant funding, the Access Fund covered registration costs for five health communicators to attend the 2025 National Conference on Health Communication, Media, and Marketing in Atlanta.

Health Communicators Love Arclet

  • I’m most excited about the opportunity that Arclet will provide when it comes to being able to amplify evidence-based and tested health messages without duplicating effort.

    Lauren Billick, CDC

  • Access to reliable, evidence-based and tested messaging is an invaluable tool for public health communicators with limited staff and resources.

    Jesus Peralta, Granville Vance Public Health

  • Having access to public health materials that have been tested for meaningful and impactful messaging can help move the needle on many different chronic diseases and lead to more positive health outcomes in communities that need it most.

    Catherine Warner, SC Department of Health

  • I have experience first-hand the growth of [social media] as it grew to become a major source of both information and disinformation. The need for a national voice that disseminates culturally competent health information based on evidence that is relative to our local communities is critical.

    Grace Kelly-McGovern, Suffolk County Department of Health Services

  • Even before the pandemic, the need for a platform of customized and localized information for local health department communicators would have been vital to our work. Arclet will be a most welcome tool for communicators, especially those in rural health departments and for others that have limited communications staff.

    Andrea Grenadier, NACCHO

  • Having a national platform for public health communicators to connect and collaborate will serve to better support the need for better understanding by the public of issues and concerns, and strategies to quickly address them. Arclet will be a wonderful resource for credible information and expert-level communication tactics.
