Accessibility Policy

It is the policy of APHA to hold events (meetings, conferences and professional gatherings) where physical and communication barriers do not exclude people with disabilities from attending and participating. Anyone requiring special assistance in order to participate in the APHA Annual Meeting is asked to check the appropriate box on the registration form and attach a written description of requirements. Specific requests can also be made directly to access@apha.org . Please be sure to communicate any special housing accommodations required to APHA Housing Services. NOTE: All ADA rooms are guaranteed.

The American Public Health Association is committed to making the Annual Meeting accessible for the widest range of people possible. An Accessibility Guide is developed each year to provide city-specific information about accessibility at the APHA Annual Meeting (including information about transportation, housing, accessible restaurants, tourist information, access services, equipment rental, etc.). Requests for a hard copy can be directed to access@apha.org.
