Abt Global is a proud exhibitor and sponsor of the American Public Health Association (APHA) 2022 Annual Meeting & Expo. The theme of this year’s conference—150 Years of Creating the Healthiest Nation: Leading the Path Toward Equity—highlights our recognition that health and well-being are not enjoyed equally by all and are shaped by a multitude of systemic and structural factors and historical inequities. One of Abt’s core functions is to address these social determinants to improve health, income, education, and well-being—for all. Our equity team and public health experts will be available at APHA—at our booth and our sessions—to answer questions and share experiences and perspectives on public health.
Stop by Booth #613 to meet our public health experts and join the conversation by attending one of our sessions:
