2015 Geographic Health Equity Symposium

The Geographic Health Equity Symposium is the signature-training event that presents strategies to address tobacco and cancer health disparities through a geographic lens. 2015 marks the second year this event has taken place and has attracted academic and public health professionals, community wellness and substance abuse prevention coalitions, non-governmental organizations and youth from all around the country.

The Geographic Health Equity Alliance is pleased to invite you to engage with our staff and featured trainers during this year’s Symposium, to be held in New Orleans, LA, on September 10 – 11, 2015, at the Tulane University School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine.

The 2015 Symposium will showcase the latest approaches in geographic health disparities, those particularly unique to rural populations and cities located in Southern states. We recognize the need for more concentrated and strategic support for our Southern tobacco and cancer prevention and control partners.
