Public Health researchers, activists and leaders from across the country all convened this week in Philadelphia for the APHA Annual Meeting and Expo — "Creating the Healthiest Nation: For science. For action. For health."

Detroit URC faculty and staff, board members, partners and friends take a few moments off from their busy APHA activities to celebrate their long-standing partnerships and friendships.
