New Aging and Public Health Section in Texas Public Health Association

The Texas APHA affiliate, Texas Public Health Association, has just created a new section: Aging and Public Health. A petition was successfully circulated to create the section at last year’s state conference, signatories agreeing to join the section when created. Upon receipt of membership registrations from sufficient new TxPHA members joining through Aging and Public Health, the TxPHA Governing Council voted on March 14 to create the new section, which will now be in existence for this year’s TPHA Annual Educational Conference, April 13-15. Several members of the APHA Aging and Public Health Section are members of the new TxPHA section of the same name.
