Public Health Forum
Raising Awareness On Prevailing Health Concerns
Upcoming Seminars
Youth Public Health Forum is a long term volunteer project, in which high school students working towards public health majors will conduct research on health related topics under the guidance of public health professionals and make monthly formal presentations at public libraries.
Each seminar will start with a briefing of current CDC outbreaks, followed by presentations on two prevailing public health related topics. There will also be Q&A section where our team and advisor answer questions from the audience.
