Celebrating 2026 Epidemiology Conference
On Friday, April 17th, we celebrated another successful year of our annual Epidemiology Conference. On behalf of the Michigan Public Health Association, we would like to thank each new and returning member who attended this year’s conference, along with our generous sponsors and Grand Valley State University for hosting us at their prestigious institution. It was a pleasure to witness the outstanding work of a diverse group of healthcare professionals committed to addressing critical public health challenges in Michigan and beyond.
This year’s conference reinforced the importance of working together to strengthen epidemiologic practice—through the collection of accurate and meaningful data, advancing prevention strategies, and building connections across our public health community. We encourage you to continue exploring opportunities to improve health outcomes in your communities and to remain engaged in this important work.
Thank you again for your time, dedication, and commitment to public health. We look forward to seeing you at the 2027 Epidemiology Conference.
