APHA 2009 -- Water, Water Everywhere...

I am joined by many HSPH students, faculty, and staff at the 137th Annual Meeting of the American Public Health Association in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

There are lots of exciting social media tools being used by public health organizations and attendees at this year's annual meeting (you can follow what's happening at #apha09 on Twitter).

Additionally, a group of HSPH students who formed a group, Public Health Practioners for Reform, will be marching to CIGNA headquarters tomorrow (Monday, November 9th) at 4pm. So, if you are in Philadelphia and want to advocate for a public option you can get the details at the Organizing for American website by clicking here.

So if you can't make it, you can still find out what's being talked about. And if you're interested in getting more of a student's perspective on this year's Conference, check out my blog posts at Veritas Health or follow my Twitter feed @veritashealth.

About

The Public Health eConnection was developed by the Student Advisory Committee for the Health Communication Concentration (SAC-HCC) to provide a platform for all members of the HSPH community to voice perspectives on public health topics, experiences at HSPH, internships, opinions on public health news events and policy, and to creatively use media (through video, podcasts, photos, music, and digital art) to promote health.
