HOAC's Spring semiannual membership meeting took place on May 2 in Glendale, California. Our membership meeting was followed by a two-day Continuing Medical Education (CME) program entitled "Accreditation: What You Need to Know."
Our Fall Semiannual Membership meeting will be held in October, 2012 in Sacramento. Because of the proximity to the APHA Annual Meeting, there are currently no plans to offer a CME activity as part of this meeting.
The California State Legislature began its 2012 session on January 4, 2012. You can find the status of bills of interest to the health officers here.
