About the Summits

Two disciplines. One week of shared learning.

The Preparedness Summit and the Public Health Nursing Summit are NACCHO's co-located annual gatherings for the professionals who keep communities ready and healthy — emergency preparedness planners, public health nurses, epidemiologists, and health department leaders from across the country convening in one place.

The 2027 Summits head to Atlanta, GA, with plenaries on the future of the field, hands-on workshops across both the preparedness and nursing tracks, and shared networking events that bridge the two disciplines.
