I attended the ACHI National Conference in St. Louis from March 12 - 14 as an exhibitor and had the opportunity to meet many dedicated professionals who are very concerned about the health of their communities. A special shout out to Berna Griffin and her staff for graciously answering my many questions. Also, a big thank you to Cherlyn Marks for helping me (and all of the exhibitors) with making the exhibiting process easy. A special note of thanks to Melissa Rehrig MPH, MCHES from the National Commission for Health Education Credentialing, Inc. for being such a gracious neighbor during the conference.
One of the larger issues at the conference was how to reach those individuals in rural areas and provide them with effective interventions. Although the use of GIS and mapping can be an effective tool, the small number problem remains. Any use of GIS to help with this issue would be greatly appreciated.
