Last week, PHCI was honored to welcome former APHA President Dr. Chris Chanyasulkit as our closing keynote speaker. She delivered a powerful presentation on using cheat codes, power-ups, and level-ups to win "the game". She reminded us that we don't have to be merely players in the game; we can be the developers who write the code!

Thank you Dr. Chris! 🎮 🎉

This was such a great collaboration!
