The 9th Annual Bloomberg American Health Summit

The 9th Annual Bloomberg American Health Summit brought together public health leaders, practitioners, and educators in Baltimore to discuss the path forward in public health. Attendees had the opportunity to learn from national experts and changemakers who are working to build a better, healthier future for Americans. 

Speakers at this year's Summit included leaders from state and federal public health agencies, political figures, faculty from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, journalists, and leaders of community organizations. Fellows and collaborating organizations also had exclusive access to workshops to learn new skills and build connections with others doing similar work across the country.

What I say to my other brother and sister mayors about what they can learn [from Baltimore], is that you do the right thing no matter how unpopular it is, and no matter if it means that you might not keep your job. That's what leadership is about, especially when it comes to public safety.

I look at you 500 [Fellows], and I know this work is challenging, but I know we have the right 500. The right people to fight the good fight, who are going to be creative, and who are going to be thoughtful.
