NACCHO Annual 2014

NACCHO Annual 2014, the annual conference of the National Association of County and City Health Officials, will be held July 8-10, 2014 in Atlanta, Georgia.

This year’s theme is “The New Era of Public Health”. NACCHO Annual 2014 is an opportunity to join a thousand of your colleagues for the year’s largest gathering of local health officials in the United States. NACCHO is the only national organization that hosts annual conferences that specifically address the needs and concerns of local health officials.

The practice of public health is clearly entering a new era refocusing traditional roles and core functions in ways that are dynamic and, in some cases, not previously imagined. How will the core functions, fundamental to public health practice, look in this new era? With the core functions as a framework, this year’s meeting will explore the impact of scientific research, innovative practice and policy implementation and development in the new era on Assessment, Policy and Assurance through plenary sessions, sharing sessions and workshops.

NACCHO Annual 2014 will provide an interactive setting for local health officials and their public health partners from around the country to examine strategies, share ideas, and plan actions for sustaining or reinventing their organizations in the new era.

Despite the economic downturn, local health departments are a critically important source of community support.  Now more than ever, local health officials are seeking new and innovative products and services to ensure excellent public health. Your participation offers direct and personal connection to local health officials responsible for programs and purchases in the fields of:
