We had an incredible time at the American Public Health Association's Annual Meeting in Washington, D.C.! 🇺🇸 A heartfelt thank-you to everyone who joined us for the Indiana Reception, co-hosted with our partners at the Indiana University School of Public Health–Bloomington, the IU Richard M. Fairbanks School of Public Health, and the Purdue University Department of Public Health. While we were sorry to cut the evening short due to a water issue at the venue, we were so grateful for the strong turnout and sense of community among Indiana’s public health professionals. 💙

We were also proud to see Iliana Enriquez represent IPHA through the presentation, “Answering the Call: How IPHA is Mobilizing Advocates for Public Health.” She shared our legislative strategy from the 2025 session, highlighting how we convened statewide partners weekly, developed new advocacy tools, and strengthened digital engagement to protect and advance public health across Indiana. As comes to a close, we’re leaving inspired, energized, and ready to keep building a healthier Indiana.

🌊 What an inspiring day at the 2025 Indiana Public Health Association Conference! Thank you to Amanda Kwong (de Beaumont Foundation), Ella Greene-Moton (APHA Immediate Past President), and Pam Pontones (Indiana Department of Health) for your thoughtful and motivating remarks. Our breakout sessions took a deep dive into some of Indiana’s most pressing public health priorities — from brain health and workforce development to grants management, partnership building, and community engagement. The energy and collaboration in every room reminded us what’s possible when we mobilize for the moment. 💙 Big thanks to our sponsors — Indiana University School of Public Health-Bloomington, Luther Consulting, Eskenazi Health, and the Region V Public Health Training Center — for helping make this event possible. And congratulations to our Public Health Award recipients who continue to inspire us with their dedication and leadership across the state.
