The American Public Health Association (APHA) hosts one of the Bloomberg School community’s favorite conferences and APHA 2019 in Philadelphia met every expectation. Bloomberg School students, faculty, alumni, and staff convened in Philadelphia APHA 2019 November 2 – 6 to discuss research, advocacy, policy, practice, and the power of public health with colleagues across the field.

Among Bloomberg School highlights—noting there were too many to include all in a single roundup:

• Clips from a recent APHA-Johns Hopkins Bloomberg American Health Initiative forum on effective gun policies were featured during the Opening General Session on Sunday at APHA 2019.
• The Johns Hopkins Center for a Livable Future, with co-host the Natural Resources Defense Council, screened the documentary film, “Right To Harm” on Sunday of APHA 2019.
