2024 Public Health Prepared Annual Summit

Our hybrid summit was held on Monday, June 24, 2024. This year’s theme was Reflection and Collaboration: Looking Within and Reaching Out, and we aimed to bring together those working around infectious disease and emergency preparedness and response in Michigan, whether in a public health, provider, or research setting. If you were unable to attend, you can still view the recorded Lightning Talks!
