is Step inside the nation’s first museum dedicated to preserving the history and legacy of public health. Hosted at the historic Public Health Museum in Tewksbury, this special open house welcomes CSTE attendees to explore the people, policies, and innovations that shaped modern public health—from early infectious disease control to today’s data-driven surveillance.

Wander through exhibits at your own pace, meet museum curators, and enjoy light refreshments during an informal reception following the open house.

Special guest Dr. Al DeMaria (past Massachusetts State Epidemiologist, current CSTE foundation board member, past CSTE president, CSTE pump handle awardee and past museum board chair and current board member) will be with us to provide his insights and museum favorites.
