RE: Genesee County Health Department's 5th Public Health Week
Conference "Healthy Places, Healthy People"
The Genesee County Health Department will be hosting
its 5th Annual Public Health Week Conference on Tuesday, April 5,
2011, at the Riverfront Center in Flint, Michigan. The conference is
entitled “Healthy Places, Healthy People”.
The evidence is clear, where you live impacts your
health. The goal of the conference is to provide information regarding place
and health, to share information regarding the health challenges in Genesee
County that have resulted from the economic crisis, to discuss strategies
for improving healthy eating, active living and preventing youth violence,
to examine the link between education and the social determinants of health,
and to inspire conference participants in the process.
The conference will feature nationally-recognized
keynote speakers, including Dr. Linda Rae Murray, President of the American
Public Health Association and Medical Officer for Cook County, IL.
Where we live influences our health and we can
collaborate to improve the health of our community. This conference provides
an opportunity for members of health, legal, environmental, and business
professionals, as well as community residents and community-based
organizations, to begin the process of addressing these current issues
important to the public’s health.
The cost to attend is $40 if participants register by
March 25, 2011, and includes meals and all conference materials. On-site
registration will be available for $50. Registration and conference
materials can be found at
http://www.gchd.us. Professional and student
scholarships are also available for the conference.
