参加由公共卫生法律协会(PHLA)和美国法律、医学和伦理学会(ASLME)主办的2010年全国公共卫生法会议的人都不会错过这种兴奋和势头的感觉。在罗伯特·伍德·约翰逊基金会(RWJF)的支持、PHLA主席和董事会的积极领导、ASLME的专家指导以及疾病控制和预防中心(CDC)主任Tom Frieden博士的鼓舞人心的讲话的支持下，这次公共卫生法年度会议的重启，标志着广泛的重要个人和机构对法律对公共卫生具有重要意义这一主张的持续承诺。但令人兴奋的不仅仅是象征意义。美国疾病控制与预防中心的公共卫生法律项目继续努力促进将法律作为一种公共卫生工具加以使用和理解。
No one who attended the 2010 national public health law conference hosted by the Public Health Law Association (PHLA) and the American Society of Law, Medicine & Ethics (ASLME) could miss the sense of excitement and momentum. The revival of this annual public health law meeting, with the support of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF), the energetic leadership of the PHLA president and board, ASLME’s expert guidance, and a rousing address by Dr. Tom Frieden, Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), symbolize the continued commitment of a wide range of important individuals and institutions to the proposition that law is of substantial importance to public health. But there is more than just symbolism to be excited about. CDC’s public health law program continues to champion efforts to promote the use and understanding of law as a public health tool.
