We are excited to announce the 2021 Health Summit will take place online.
“Public Health During Changing Times”
January 26-28, 2021 (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday)
The Alaska Health Summit this year continues its tradition as one of the largest gatherings of health professionals in the state. We have a full schedule of outstanding speakers who will engage us in thinking about the most critical issues affecting public health in Alaska today. With three keynotes and dozens of workshop sessions, you will have a broad choice of networking opportunities, and you’ll come away inspired for your own work and partnerships.
The Summit provides educational opportunities for health care providers, public health practitioners, policy makers, educators, and community members on topics of current interest that affect the health of all Alaskans. This year’s conference theme, “Public Health During Changing Times,” recognizes that we have a rich, multi-cultural tapestry of traditions and people with unique and valuable insights into the challenges they face, who should all be actively engaged in creating solutions.
The annual Health Summit is the flagship event of the Alaska Public Health Association, but it’s not all we do! The Board of Directors invites you to join us for the annual membership meeting on Jan. 28, 2021, to find out more about our work and how you can be more involved.”
