The Public Health Institute's
GUIDE TO THE 2018
APHA MEETING
Creating the Healthiest Nation: Health Equity Now
November 10-14 | San Diego
Health Equity Now
In the U.S. and around the world, people of color, low-income communities, people with disabilities and other marginalized populations experience poorer health outcomes. Discriminatory housing policies trap families in areas with poor air quality; gender discrimination creates barriers to educational and economic opportunity; immigration status impacts income and access to health services.
To create better health, PHI and its programs focus on building more equitable systems through policy and community change.
At this year's APHA meeting, "Creating the Healthiest Nation: Health Equity Now," we hope our 25+ presentations, posters and special events on the social determinants of health and many other topics will challenge you with new ideas, provide information to inform your work, and inspire you to connect with new partners.
Together we are building a healthier world.
