The 2020 Tribal Public Health Conference on April 14,15,&16 has been cancelled!
Recognizing the ongoing and increased uncertainty that the coronavirus (COVID-19) is causing throughout Indian Country and the world, the Southern Plains Tribal Health Board (SPTHB) and 7th Generation have agreed to cancel our upcoming Tribal Public Health Conference scheduled for April 14-16, 2020 in Durant, Oklahoma. Our highest priority is the health and well-being of our invited guests, attendees, and our staff, which includes a number of respected tribal elders. This perspective, along with the announcement from the World Health Organization (WHO) deeming COVID-19 a pandemic and number of tribal governments announcing travel bans and mandatory quarantines, made our decision conclusive.
