Speak For Health
Speak for Health is how APHA members stand up for public health interests.
APHA believes public health professionals deserve a stronger voice in public health advocacy. Together, we can change the narrative and turn the tide. #SpeakForHealth
APHA is the leading voice for public health in Washington. The policies we advance are based in science, research and member-led processes.
Join us and Speak for Health — for today and future generations.
