The theme of this year’s Public Health in the Rockies (PHiR) conference is Public Health: Forging Forward Together. The last two years have been challenging and transformative for public health and for CPHA. The COVID-19 pandemic has placed unprecedented stress on our public health infrastructure and exacerbated inequities among our fellow Coloradans. At the 2021 PHiR we celebrated public health heroes to recognize the grit, dedication and hard work our public health workforce has put towards the pandemic and solving so many other complex issues in order to protect the health and safety of our communities. 

Public Health in the Rockies will take place at Keystone Conference Center September 27 – 29, 2022.
