Committees

The Medical Care Section committees plan scientific, business and social sessions for APHA’s Annual Meeting. Some develop policy proposals for the APHA. Our committees are superb venues for networking with peers, deepening familiarity with issues and working with other health professionals who are committed to improving the nation’s health.
