A Message from the ABHP President

As President of the Association of Black Health-system Pharmacists (ABHP), I am pleased to invite you to attend the ABHP Annual Meeting and Minority Health Conference to be held at the Atlanta Marriott Marquis, Atlanta, Georgia on May 16 – 18, 2008. Attendees have an opportunity to attend stimulating educational presentations, meet dynamic speakers, visit vendors exhibits, participate in public speaking workshops, and still have plenty time for social interaction. The conference will not only provide cutting edge information designed to raise awareness of the need for cultural sensitivity in health care practices, it will also be one of your best opportunity to network with like-minded colleagues within the state of Georgia and throughout the country. You don’t want to miss it and I’m sure you’ll find every reason to attend. 

Needless to say, I believe this IS the health-system meeting to attend

Programs are designed for pharmacists, nurses, physicians, social workers, psychologists, students, and any other health professionals interested in updating their knowledge on minority health issues.  Participants will take part in an exchange of information that will surely expand your views, opinions, and professional knowledge. The conference will include programs related to health care disparities, cultural competence, women’s health issues, men’s health issues, children health issues, African-American and Hispanic health issues, health literacy, and polices and practices related to community and public activism. Other opportunities can be found while visiting our vendors’ exhibits where you can explore the latest information on pharmaceuticals, products and technologies. Don’t hesitate to be a part of this unique experience - - register early for the best savings! Make your hotel reservations and travel plans as soon as possible!
