The APHA Center for Public Health Policy highlights the connections between communities — where we live, work, play, and learn –— and our collective health. We serve as a catalyst for positive change by strengthening public health capacity to advance health equity. With an experienced staff and a vast network of diverse partners, we create informative and solutions-oriented tools and resources that support APHA’s vision of optimal, equitable health and well-being for all.
