Selene 


 


Please join your friends and colleagues to celebrate National Public Health Week at this free Live Webcast and networking event. Come to EUGENE to socialize and then watch the live webcast of Dr. Russell S. Kirby (see below).


 


Invite a public health friend and join the fun.


This event is the first of what we hope will become a regular gathering of Public Health professionals in the region to visit, network, and learn in an informal setting. And, most importantly, a time to enjoy the company of others with a passion for public health. 


 


This Eugene event has been organized by local members of the Oregon Public Health Association (OPHA) with space and support provided by Lane County Public Health.
