Mission Statement:
The New Hampshire Public Health Association (NHPHA) strengthens the state's public health system to improve health, prevent disease and reduce costs for all.
Linked below is the 2010 ballot for the officers and at-large board members of the New Hampshire Public Health Association Board of Directors. Please note that officers must be elected for one year terms from among at-large board members who serve for three years. Therefore, some officers appear twice on the ballot and, those currently on the board, will appear only once. All members are encouraged to vote.
Please take a few moments to complete the ballot and return it by one of three ways:
1) send electronically by Friday, April 2, 2010 to: info@nhpha.org
2) mail it by Friday, April 2, 2010 to: NHPHA, PO Box 2304, Concord, NH 03302-2304 or
3) bring your completed ballot to the Annual Meeting where it will be added to those received electronically or via regular mail.

The NH Immunization Program is hosting their 2nd Annual Immuniation Conference on March 23, 2010 at the Radisson Hotel in Manchester, NH.
Board member Shawn LaFrance sponsored this website this month. "I support the NH Public Health Association because it brings together people in our state who share a commitment to health as much broader than one disease or injury. The public health approach is to aim for the well-being of individuals and the environments in the Granite State where people live, work, etc. This common or collective approach is important if we are really going to promote health and reform the delivery of care."
Jeanie Holt attended the American Public Health Association annual meeting in Philadelphia earlier in November. Each day she sent an up-date to the listserv. Here, all of her missives are gathered in one place--enjoy a vicarious trip to APHA!
