Message from the CEO: Last week the AIDH celebrated our second anniversary. We survived the pandemic and have come out the other side with a thriving digital health community ready to take on future challenges and opportunities. Thank you to all our fabulous members, the AIDH Board and the digital health community for supporting our work over the past two years, and we look forward to continued advocacy and development of the digital health workforce. We have big plans for the next few years and hope you will come along with us.
