Be sure to join the summer institute live on Friday July 10th, from 1:30-2:30pm PDT where the break out sessions will be divided by participant’s region and your discussions will focus on how to take everything you have learned over the last two days and create change in your local communities! We will also release a post-summer institute resource package to help registrants move from planning to taking action in creating healthy, sustainable, just and local solutions to pressing public, population, and environmental health concerns in their communities.
We can’t wait to welcome you online later this week! Keep an eye on our social media channels for speakers features over the next couple days and be sure to share them with your friends! The summer institute is open to anyone who is interested in the theme, no matter their location!

Keep your eyes out for our call for abstracts for the PHABC annual fall conference, happening this November (likely online this year due to COVID-19). We will be releasing the call soon after the summer institute and encourage members to consider submitting an abstract for consideration. We will be expanding on our theme of public health and the Anthropocene and are excited to see all the excellent abstracts from our dedicated public health and related professionals!
