Midyear Meeting

The public health system delivers essential services that protect the health of your community and brings enormous value to creating a healthy nation. If we are to address the economic and health-related costs of chronic and communicable disease and injuries, we must strengthen our nation’s investment in prevention and public health. But the public health system is confronting a crisis: declining budgets, more demands, an aging and shrinking workforce, changing skill sets, technology hurdles, integration of public health into primary care, lack of understanding of the role of public health by the public, opinion leaders and policy-makers and a myriad of other challenges. 

Building on the success of our Midyear Meeting in June 2011, please join the American Public Health Association and our partners as we address these and other issues at The New Public Health – Rewiring for the Future June 26-28, 2012, in Charlotte, N.C. This Midyear Meeting will equip attendees from federal, state, local and tribal agencies and organizations with the educational, policy and advocacy tools needed for keeping up with and anticipating the changes that will be necessary to “rewire” the public health infrastructure. 

Keynote Speaker Announced - The Midyear Meeting will open with a session that focuses on the necessary changes to public health. The session will feature Dr. Don Berwick. More information >>

Registration will be open February 23, 2012. Topics and presenters will be available at that time as well.
