Dr. Mays traveled to Virginia to present Public Health System Capital and its Health and Economic Returns during the Public Health Accreditation Board Quarterly Meeting.

This session reviews evidence from the National Longitudinal Survey of Public Health Systems, including emerging data on rural-urban differences in the strength of community networks.
