On behalf of the Oral Health Section, I want to invite you to participate in the APHA Annual Meeting in Boston.

Highlights include: Access to Oral Health Care and the Alaska Dental Therapist, Oral Health Services for the Frail Elderly, Public Health and Human Rights, RWJF's Pipeline Program: where are we now and where do we go from here, etc. For a complete list of sessions and speakers please visit the APHA Web site:
