AMPHO, MEHA, and MPHA invite public health professionals, partners, researchers, students, and others working to improve the health of Montana communities to submit an abstract for the 2027 Confluence Conference, March 1–3, 2027 in Helena, Montana.
The Confluence Conference brings together Association members and professionals to share ideas, strengthen connections, learn from one another, and explore approaches to improving public and environmental health. We welcome proposals that highlight practical strategies, emerging issues, innovative programs, lessons learned, research, partnerships, and other work that can inform and inspire attendees.
