APHA 2025 Annual Meeting & Expo, Washington, D.C., Nov. 2-5, Making the Public's Health a National Priority

Making the Public's Health a National Priority

Washington, D.C. | November 2-5, 2025

Research has shown that public health efforts to prevent disease are more cost effective - and humane - than treating chronic health conditions, so now is the time to invest in our nation’s health. Health is a human right; let’s make it a national priority.
