TY - JOUR T1 - Looking forward, looking back: Health in the new year JF - The Nation's Health JO - Nations Health SP - 3 LP - 3 VL - 38 IS - 10 AU - Cheryl Easley Y1 - 2009/12/01 UR - http://www.thenationshealth.org/content/38/10/3.1.abstract N2 - Greetings to all and to your families and coworkers as we begin a new year, perhaps a new era in our history, and a year-long journey together through this column. For those of you who do not know me, I am a public health nurse and an educational administrator. I am proud to be the first APHA president from Alaska as we celebrate our 50th year of statehood and the first to follow a family member — my twin sister Carol Easley Allen — as APHA president. I look forward to meeting many of you as I visit state and regional public health association meetings and to hearing of your successes and challenges in promoting public health as 2009 unfolds.Copyright The Nation’s Health, American Public Health Association ER -
