Creating the Healthiest Nation: Overcoming Social and Ethical Challenges
Your Guide to APHA Annual Meeting and Expo 2023
New challenges to public health have arisen over the past several years. From threats to democracy, individual rights, and public health authority, to shifting conditions in communities due to COVID-19, the climate crisis, and other social change, the pubic health landscape is changing. How do we build a public health system capable of responding to the challenges of today while improving health, well-being and equity for the future?
Overcoming social and ethical challenges is the theme of the APHA Annual Meeting and Expo 2024. We invite you to explore the below resources as you prepare for the Annual Meeting and Expo.
APHA 2023 is Here!
For over 150 years, the American Public Health Association has held an Annual Meeting and Expo. APHA’s Annual Meeting is the premier public health event of the year offering innovative and exciting opportunities to engage with public health experts, collaborate with other advocates and grow professionally.
This year’s focus on creating the healthiest nation by overcoming social and ethical challenges is an opportunity to come together around building public health capacity and addressing the social and ethical challenges that threaten our nation’s health. With a stronger public health infrastructure, we can expand essential prevention and health promotion efforts at the community, state, and federal levels to tackle threats from communicable diseases like COVID-19 and mpox, substance misuse, climate change and health disparities.
Join APHA this November as we come together to overcome these threats to well-being and work to achieve a healthier nation.
In-Person Meeting November 12-15, 2023 – Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta
