Antiracism through Troubled Waters: Empowering Advocacy

The Public Health Nursing Section has spent over one hundred years on Promoting and Protecting the Health of Populations. In the coming years, the PHN Section will continue to lead activities to discuss and enhance equity, diversity, and social justice throughout APHA and in our profession. This work supports our goals of developing and supporting a well-informed and capable public health nursing workforce and enhancing our value to improve population health. To further this important work, please consider supporting the Anti-Racism Pre-conference held prior to the American Public Health Association (APHA) Annual Meeting sponsored by the APHA Public Health Nursing (PHN) Section.
