In just over a week, we and more than 10,000 of our closest public health friends will arrive in Atlanta for the American Public Health Association (APHA) 2023 Annual Meeting – and we can’t wait! With the theme of “Overcoming Social & Ethical Challenges,” this year’s conference and its sessions acknowledge the increasingly complex world we live in and the importance of addressing the many varied factors that play a part in the health outcomes of people and communities.
As you plan your schedule, consider the following sessions and events recommended by the de Beaumont Foundation (all times Eastern). And when you get a chance, please stop by Booth 831, across from APHA Central, to pick up some swag, learn about our resources and professional opportunities, flip through our publications, and meet our team.
