Welcome to the 2012 MCH & Immunization
Conference

The third biennial Alaska Maternal Child Health and Immunization Conference will take place September 27-28, 2012, at the Anchorage Marriott Hotel. Whether you’ve attended the conference in the past or you are just hearing about it now, we hope you will place these dates on your calendar and join us!

The Alaska MCH and Immunization Conference is organized by the Alaska Native Epidemiology Center (EpiCenter) and the Alaska Division of Public Health, Section of Women’s, Children’s, and Family Health. We are excited to provide an opportunity for rural and urban Alaskan health professionals to come together to learn about best practices, tools, and surveillance data related to the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of women’s, children’s, and adolescent health issues in Alaska.

At this conference, physicians, nurses, Community Health Aide/Practitioners, social workers, epidemiologists, program planners, local and state policy makers, tribal leaders, and others, will have the opportunity to learn about new and emerging issues in maternal and child health in Alaska and receive information on resources and tools that are available to assist them in their work. Presenters include national and Alaskan leaders and experts who are working hard to improve the well-being and health of women, children, and families. The preliminary agenda will be posted on this website in April 2012.
