The Georgia Public Health Association is continuing to work on behalf of those who lead public health practice across the state of Georgia. Though we are not able to host our Annual Conference in Jekyll Island, Georgia, this year, we still seek to acknowledge the great work of our public health practice colleagues across this state. Your work is invaluable, and we want to applaud you when you are present AND when we are apart from one another.
