This editorial perspective marks the 25th year of Public Health Genomics and reflects on the journal's evolution from its 1998 founding as Community Genetics through its 2009 renaming. In 2022, the editors convened four 90-minute virtual forums with 15 participants from the USA, Canada, Australia, and the UK to elicit impressions of the journal and identify key themes in genomics translation for public health benefit. Participants were researchers, clinicians, and public health practitioners whose expertise aligned with themes from a published systematic review of genomic translation research. Key themes from the forums centered on risk communication, public understanding of genomics, and testing interventions to expand reach and effectiveness of health promotion.
