Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, this year’s APHA Annual Meeting & Expo is going virtual! But many PHM-NA activists and affiliated organizations will again be at this year’s Meeting to discuss the pressing challenges we face across the globe that threaten the right to health.
Below, you can find a list of sessions and activities that we recommend for anyone active in the struggle for Health for All. We hope to see you there (virtually)! (All times in Mountain Time.)
