Public health (and service) in action

Today, members of APHA's Community Health Planning and Policy Development Section gathered at GLIDE and St. Anthony's Foundation, two local San Francisco organizations that offer support services to the city's poor and marginalized populations. It's the second year the Section has planned a community action event to coincide with the APHA Annual Meeting and help raise awareness about local needs. Check back here tomorrow for more coverage from the community event.
