Dear John,
 
As we wind down at APHA 2022, we want to thank each of you for all you do to advance public health and address some of the most pressing issues of our time. The last few years have been tiring, and they've tested us all, but we know that together we WILL create the healthiest nation.
 
We hope you have enjoyed these daily insights into the Annual Meeting and some of the content available to you, even without attending the meeting. We have one more livestream available to you today, so be sure to tune in.

Livestreamed Session

Featured Session
Where Do We Go from Here – An Interactive Discussion of Strategies to Build the Public Health Workforce from College to Commissioner
8:30-10:00 a.m
 
The governmental public health workforce is the most essential element in our collective efforts to ensure a healthy nation, thriving and equitable communities, and a strong economy. However, implementation and execution of the workforce have often been scattershot and driven by available funding rather than a strategic plan. In this session, five leaders will discuss the most pressing issues in public health workforce development and how to ensure that we get it right.

Closing General Session

Building Public Health Capacity Through an Ethical Lens to Address Social Challenges
2:30-4:00 p.m.
 
Optimal health and well-being can only be achieved if resources and opportunities are equitably distributed among all communities. This session will explore connections between the ethics, social justice issues and moral considerations underlying public health, and how those connections can build a workforce that tackles the social factors affecting our health.

Featured Session

What’s at Stake When Public Health Aligns with (or Undermines) “Radical” Social Justice Movements
10:30 a.m.-12:00 a.m.
 
On the heels of a global pandemic, racial justice uprisings, police violence, community violence and a "backlash" narrative, the national dialogue on public health, justice and safety has become politically charged and dynamic. This session will elevate the need for a comprehensive public health infrastructure aligned with social justice movements.
