This year we are excited to travel to San Diego for the annual American Public Health Association (APHA) Meeting and Expo, which will take place from November 10th through the 14th. With more than 12,000 people expected to attend, the event represents the largest annual gathering of public health professionals in the nation. As this year's theme is "Creating the Healthiest Nation: Health Equity Now", we are proud to be contributing numerous posters and presentations on this important topic.
On Tuesday, November 13th, from 6:30-8:30pm we will be hosting a reception focused on cutting-edge research and practice at the intersection of maternal and child health (MCH) and sexual and reproductive health (SRH). We have an exciting panel of researchers, clinicians, and public health practitioners who will describe their research and practice related to racism and maternal and neonatal health. Other topics include LARC removal and addressing abortion as part of MCH work in health departments and as part of prenatal care. We will end the evening with an engaging speed dating activity. For more information on presenters at the reception, download the PDF flyer.
