APHA 2024 — Rebuilding Trust in Public Health and Science
Public health is inherently future-focused, looking toward prevention and promotion to enable populations to live longer, healthier lives. But recent political polarization, underfunding and distrust of scientific research threaten our ability to create optimal, equitable health and well-being for all. The promise and effectiveness of public health is challenged by pseudoscience. Given this discord, we need to rebuild trust in public health and science.
APHA Theme Week!
Get ready to show your spirit in Minneapolis at the Annual Meeting! We’re excited to announce an event full of themes and activities to celebrate our communities and highlight the work we do. Pack your bags with items to participate in this year’s fun!
