About Our Conference

Conference attendees represent diverse fields, such as medicine, social work, epidemiology, community health, nursing, and more. Together, this collaborative community is united by a shared commitment to improving health outcomes, supporting public health research, and advancing efforts that promote access, well-being, and healthier communities across Oregon.

Our New Location
After many years on the beloved OSU campus, we’re excited to bring our conference to the Wingspan which is housed in the largely rural Washington County. This decision was made with careful consideration to strengthen our partnerships with the many public health organizations centered in the Portland metro area.
We remain steadfast in our commitment to represent and serve all of Oregon, especially our rural communities. We are focused on ensuring that opportunities for participation are strengthened across the state, and that all voices are heard. This shift was made with a lot of love and reflection, as we continue to build connections that will help advance public health for every community in Oregon.
Mark your calendars and stay tuned for more!
