APHL extends its profound gratitude to all of the public health staff in Puerto Rico (PR) and the United States Virgin Islands (USVI) for their work to support response and recovery efforts following Hurricanes Irma and Maria.
APHL dedicates this site to these heroes who have invested their time to rebuild the public health system across PR and USVI. We admire their dedication, passion and continuous drive to keep their populations safe and healthy.
