ACOEM Announces Sappington Lecturer -- 
AOHC 2017 Denver
Date: April 23 - 26, 2017
Sheraton Denver Downtown Hotel, Denver, Colorado
The Sappington Lecture will be given by former ACOEM President Ron Loeppke, MD, MPH, FACOEM, at this year's American Occupational Health Conference (AOHC) in Denver on Sunday, April 26, during the opening General Session taking place from 6:00 p.m. - 7:30 p.m. 
Dr. Loeppke will speak on "Leveraging the Power of Prevention in the Global Quest for Better Health & Safety." We caught up with him recently to learn more about this topic.
Q: You have been researching, and writing about, the power of prevention strategies for many years. Why is this topic so important to you?
A: I learned early in my medical career that many of the conditions that ended up disabling or killing patients could have been avoided through relatively simple preventive interventions--and the more I saw the often-tragic results for people, the more convinced I became that we needed to move beyond our "sick" care system and develop more of a true "health" system. So, I did a Preventive Medicine Residency and Occupational Medicine Fellowship to build my medical practice on the pillars of prevention - providing health care and health promotion/health protection programs for workers and their families.
