About Me

Frank Strona, MPH, PhD(c), is an educator, public health advisor and advocate, speaker, trainer, and content specialist whose work has crossed public health, sexual health, workforce development, technology, adult learning, and community engagement for more than four decades.

After more than 22 years with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Frank retired from federal service in August 2026. Through MentorSF, he continues to work with individuals, educators, organizations, and communities on practical approaches to learning, communication, professional transition, sexual health advocacy, and navigating change.

His background includes academic teaching, training and curriculum development, consulting, counseling, patient advocacy, leadership, digital communication, and public health practice. He holds an MPH from San José State University and completed doctoral coursework in Transformational Studies and Leadership at the California Institute of Integral Studies.

Frank’s approach combines evidence, experience, curiosity, and direct conversation. The goal is not to hand people a canned formula, but to help them identify what matters, make informed choices, and move forward with greater clarity.

I also hold Adjunct roles with National University Allied Health Services Program and Southern New Hampshire University as well as guest lecturer other universities across the country
