NPHA Annual Conference
The statewide NPHA annual conference provides an opportunity for Nevada's public health professionals to gather together to discuss relevant public health issues, as well as a chance to network, meet, and stay connected with other professionals in Nevada. Continuing education credits are also available for several public health disciplines. The location of the NPHA annual conference alternates yearly between northern and southern Nevada, providing greater accessibility to participants.

A very special thanks to the planning committee for their hard work- it was a very exciting conference once again, and huge thanks to our sponsors and exhibitors, without whom the conference couldn't happen.

Last, but never least, a very big thanks to our conference planning team, the University of Nevada School of Medicine's Office of Continuing Medical Education, who continue to deliver a very professional, organized conference.
