The College of Public Health is excited to announce the CPH Rural Health Summit, set for February 28, 2025, at the College of Public Health Building. This special event will spotlight rural health as one of our college’s areas of excellence and provide a platform to showcase the impactful work being done across our college.

We are honored to welcome our keynote speaker, Dr. Diane Hall, director of the Office of Rural Health at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Public Health Infrastructure Center.

In addition, CPH faculty, staff, students, postdocs, centers, and programs are invited to highlight their rural health research and projects by:

• Presenting a poster,

• Delivering a “lightning talk” – a 5-minute presentation, or

• Showcasing CPH research centers and programs with a table display.

TO PRESENT AT THE SUMMIT: If you would like to present or host a table display at the summit, please submit an application on the Rural Health Summit website by January 24, 2025.
