- General Information
The Public Health Partnership Conference will be held virtually this year on April 28-30, 2021. NYSPHA and our partners (NYS Association of County Health Officials, NYS Association for Rural Health and the NYS Conference on Environmental Health Directors) have worked hard to plan an online event that will bring you just as much value as our cherished in-person annual event.
Using the Whova platform, you will have the opportunity to network with colleagues from across the state and participate in general plenary sessions presenting a wide array of public health knowledge and insights from local county health department directors to the APHA president. Attendees will have the choice of several breakout sessions to choose from, visit exhibitor booths virtually, attend wellness events including yoga and a live cooking class and view poster presentations.
Our 70th Annual Meeting will offer you all you have come to expect from the NYS Public Health Partnership Conference!
This conference is designed for public health educators, academic staff, county health officials and employees, students, medical and dental practitioners, state health employees and others in the field of public health, education and medical care. We welcome all individuals and organizations who share a common interest of promoting and protecting the public’s health.
