Get ready to make a splash at the 66th Annual EDNCPHA Education Conference! 🌊
While we’re diving deep into our theme, "From State to Community: The Ripple Effect in Public Health," we’ve also planned two "shore" things for you to relax and network after a day of learning on May 14th for an evening of fun on the coast:

🪑 5:30 PM | First Annual SIT-A-THON
Location: DoubleTree Beach Access
Test your endurance at the water's edge! The last person sitting wins epic prizes and legendary bragging rights.
* Entry Fee: $10 (Proceeds support the EDNCPHA Scholarship Fund!)
* Reminder: BYOC! (Bring Your Own Chair)

🎶 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM | MUSIC BINGO!
Keep the summer vibes going with Hits & Bingo! We’re bringing the fun prizes, a Baked Potato Bar, and great music. It’s the perfect way to wrap up the evening.

Register now for the conference and join the ripple effect!

Public health is working for you every day. It’s in the:

Clean water you drink 💧
Safe food you eat 🍎
Vaccines that protect your kids 💉
Fast help when disaster strikes 🌪️

From Murphy to Manteo, NC’s public health workers are your neighbors. We show up, listen and take action. And North Carolinians are noticing.

When you know us, you trust us. That trust keeps growing.
