Public Health communities in every state are experiencing shrinking funding sources and continued termination of vital programs. In Colorado, we deal with similar struggles, and are being forced to have crucial conversations regarding public health capacity. We are also getting back to the basics of public health science and creating new partnerships that go beyond the usual scope of public health. As a community, we are searching for viable solutions that will allow us to overcome the new reality of reduced capacity for public health related programs in Colorado.
Public Health Unplugged: a platform for moving forward in a time of reduced assets
The 2012 Public Health in the Rockies Conference, addresses the unraveling of funding, services and public and environmental health programs with a focus on:
- bridging unique partnerships across fields
- strategies and processes to strengthen our system
- moving forward with reduced assets
- best practices at all levels in Colorado communities and neighboring states.
The conference also creates space for discussions and action plans to be realized among the public health community.
Join us as we step into these unchartered waters, adding to our strength in numbers and solutions. The 2012 Public Health in the Rockies Conference will be hosted at The Pueblo Convention Center in historic, downtown Pueblo, CO on September 19-21, 2012! Steps from the conference you can enjoy the Arkansas Riverwalk, Union Avenue District shopping, strolling amongst historic registry buildings, and access to the state of the art Pueblo City-County Health Department. If you have an extra day or two the last day of the Conference overlaps with Pueblo’s famous Chile and Frijoles Festival.
Public Health in the Rockies is a shared endeavor of the Colorado Public Health Association, Colorado Society for Public Health Education and the Public Health Nurses Association of Colorado. Unique in nature, as it offers a gathering platform for all those associated with public health from a variety of settings and professions.
