As <a href="http://www.hhs.gov/ash/leadership/ash.html">Dr. Howard Koh</a>, the United States assistant secretary for health, said, “If you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for anything.” <br /><br />Energized participants and presenters expressed the importance of social justice, human rights, and the intersections in public health. It has been over 100 years since the APHA annual meeting was last held in Denver, and the Mile High City did not disappoint as this year’s host.</p> <fieldset class="fieldgroup group-authoring-information"><div class="field field-type-text field-field-author"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <div class="field-label-inline-first"> Author&#039;s name:&nbsp;</div> Amanda Puckett </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-date field-field-publication-date"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <div class="field-label-inline-first"> Publication Date:&nbsp;</div> <span class="date-display-single">November 2010</span> </div> </div> </div> </fieldset> <p><a href="https://www.capacityplus.org/social-justice-global-health-workforce" target="_blank">read more</a></p> https://www.capacityplus.org/social-justice-global-health-workforce#comments Health Workers Human Resources for Health Social Justice Tue, 16 Nov 2010 14:55:24 +0000 jennifer 269 at https://www.capacityplus.org
