General Information

Seattle is the Host City for the 2007 National Conference on Health Promotion and Education and the SOPHE 2007 Mid-year Meeting. 

Make plans now to join these three national organizations for the conference Changing the Face of Health Education and Health Promotion in Seattle, WA, June 7-9, 2007. Also, after this conference ends,  the International Union for Health Promotion and Education will begin on June10 in nearby  Vancouver, Canada.  Transportation options will be available for transport from Seattle to Vancouver.

The conference theme, "Changing the Face of Health Education and Health Promotion" focuses on breaking down sub-categories within the profession such as infectious vs. chronic, global health vs. domestic health that serve as barriers to progress. This conference will encourage re-conceptualizing health education and health promotion programs, research and practice to cross over professional boundaries and seek an integrated approach to solving health education challenges. We encourage all professionals and public health partners involved in health education, health promotion, health communication, community health, and behavioral research to submit an abstract proposal.
