TPHA 2008 Annual Education Conference-San Antonio
Pathways to Health: Policy, Practices and Partners
presented by TPHA and the San Antonio Metropolitan Health District
Workforce Trends Point To A Future with Fewer Public Health Professionals and Increased Public Health Needs (Arlington, VA) March 13, 2008 - New data from a survey by the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials (ASTHO) shows that the public health workforce is shrinking, the pool of new public health professionals is limited, and states are at a disadvantage in competing for the few workers available. As the public health workforce shrinks, state health agencies will face mounting pressures to meet traditional and emerging threats to the public's health.
TPHA would like to thank all who were involved in organizing the
2007 TPHA Regional Conference in El Paso.
"Disease Knows No Borders-Binational Cooperation" was a great success!
TPHA welcomes all new members who joined our association at this meeting!
