MPHA Supports Healthy Meetings and Events
On December 13, 2018, the Board of Directors voted to implement a policy that supports healthy meetings and events. MPHA hosts two annual conferences – Public Health Nursing and Epidemiology – and we support creating a healthy environment for all of our members and conference attendees by providing healthy food options and physical activity breaks. As the new year approaches, we hope that you too will make healthy meetings and events a part of your organization’s resolution. Click on the title to view our policy.
