“Rebuilding Trust in Public Health and Science”

The APHA’s 2024 Annual Meeting & Expo 
October 27-30 in Minneapolis

Public health is inherently future-focused, looking toward prevention and promotion to enable populations to live longer, healthier lives. But recent political polarization, underfunding and distrust of scientific research threaten our ability to create optimal, equitable health and well-being for all. The promise and effectiveness of public health is challenged by pseudoscience. Given this discord, we need to rebuild trust in public health and science.

This year’s meeting will give participants the opportunity to hear from influential leaders making a significant impact in public health, to connect with thousands of public health professionals and to choose from countless unique learning activities, sessions and events.
