Local health department leaders, public health partners, and invited guests will convene at the National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO) Annual Conference on July 7-9th in Kansas City, the largest gathering of local health officials in the United States. NACCHO is the only national organization that holds meetings to address needs specific to local health departments. Attendees from around the country will gather to share best practices and hear from national, regional, state, and local health officials, as well as Obama Administration representatives, about the future of public health and to address today’s ongoing community challenges.
This year’s annual meeting theme is “Envisioning the Future: Creating Our Path.” With more than 80 sessions, local health department leaders will learn new strategies to keep their communities healthy and safe. In addition, newly appointed NACCHO Executive Director LaMar Hasbrouck, MD, will hold NACCHO Annual’s first-ever Twitter Q&A on police violence and public health.
