APHA Concludes 132nd Annual Meeting
APHA concluded our 132nd Annual Meeting last week where thousands of public health professionals from around the world came together to share the latest in public health research and practice. To read highlights from the meeting, see <http://www.apha.org/news/press/2004/wrap_up111004.html>.

National Public Health Week 2005: Empowering Americans to Live Stronger, Longer!
Today, many individuals and their families, as well as communities and policy-makers, are not taking the preventive actions necessary to keep aging Americans stronger and healthier throughout their later years. As a result, older Americans often endure chronic physical and mental illnesses that could have been avoided or diminished if they were more proactively addressed. At APHA, we believe that it is never too late to address these issues. National Public Health Week 2005, to take place April 4-10, will focus on empowering Americans to live stronger, longer.

In the coming weeks, APHA will provide more planning information on NPHW. In the meantime, if you have any questions, please contact Lakitia Mayo at (202) 777-2515 or at <lakitia.mayo@apha.org>.
