Fellows present at American Public Health Association Conference

A handful of Fellows and staff attended and presented at the annual American Public Health Association (APHA) conference in Washington, D.C. The conference theme, "Healthy Communities Promote Health Minds and Bodies," fit well with the community-based focus of the Fellowship.
