APHA in the News

As the leading voice and advocate for improving the public’s health, APHA is a visible and active participant in conversations impacting the health of all Americans. Toward this goal, we work with journalists covering the nation’s health, telling the stories of Americans looking to live healthy lives and public health workers on the frontlines of caring for all. It is also why we voice our concerns regarding leaders who share mis/disinformation that festers distrust of proven approaches to prevent disease and improve health.
