The group's annual meeting attracted
administrators and front-line professionals from the fields of
health and human services, as well as legislators, policy-makers and
advocates who have a special interest in public health. This year's
conference theme was "Community Health: Our Foundation: Our Future."
The agenda for the gathering focused on
the national obesity epidemic, agro-terrorism, emergency readiness,
chronic and infectious disease, social marketing, volunteerism, and
other core public health issues.
As a member
of the Illinois Public Health Association, the Logan County Health
Department takes part in the promotion and protection of public
health interests and plays an important role in improving the public
health system in Illinois.
