Welcome to the spring 2006 Gerontological Section Newsletter.  This edition of the Newsletter is heavy on announcements.  Please take time to review them, especially the notice regarding use of absentee ballots during the APHA Annual Meeting.
 
How does the GHS Newsletter stack up against other APHA section newsletters? Our February Newsletter was viewed by some 150 visitors, with an average viewing time of 3.5 min. This puts us in the middle of rival Newsletters.  Epidemiology is currently most popular (722 visitors) and Podiatric Health least (44).
 
We need more content, more news, and a little controversy to stir the pot.  Please continue to send in your announcements.  Best wishes for a productive, safe, and restful summer.
