Position: APHA-CHC Communication Chair

The July/August 2011 issue of the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics provides a special focus on public health issues and chiropractic care. This fourth annual public health issue offers a wide range of public health topics from some of our CHC Section leaders and members (see below for the JMPT table of contents).

Through the generosity of the National University of Health Sciences and Elsevier, the CHC Section will receive extra copies of this special issue of the JMPT for distribution at the APHA Annual Meeting, the chiropractic sessions, and the CHC Section booth.

We are already beginning to prepare for the 2012 issue. Articles for the 2012 public health-themed issue of the JMPT can be submitted throughout this year. Guidelines for submissions can be found at: www.jmptonline.org or by contacting the editor at cjohnson@nuhs.edu.
