APHA 2025 — Making the Public's Health a National Priority

Life expectancies have been declining since before the COVID-19 pandemic exposed the need to prioritize public health. Research has shown that public health efforts to prevent disease are more cost effective - and humane - than treating chronic health conditions, so now is the time to invest in our nation’s health. We need to prepare for the next pandemic, improve data collection to track and analyze diseases, conduct research on effective prevention and treatment methods and enact policies that promote better health for all people in all communities. Health is a human right; let’s make it a national priority. 

The APHA 2025 Annual Meeting and Expo will take place at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center (801 Allen Y. Lew Place NW, Washington, DC 20001) and the Marriott Marquis Washington, DC (901 Massachusetts Ave NW, Washington, DC 20001). There will also be an opportunity to take part in the meeting digitally.
