Partnerships for Public Health: Sculpting a Healthier Future Together
The interventions to improve and maintain population health are embedded among a myriad of determinants and require a mix of public health practitioners from different fields, levels of experience, interests, and workspaces. Only through active engagement, collaboration, innovation and evidence-based practice can we overcome the complex health challenges that we face today. The 2024 PHASA conference will bring together diverse voices to explore the power of partnerships in shaping a healthier future together.
