Public health is the science of protecting and improving the health of people and their communities. This work is achieved by promoting healthy lifestyles; researching diseases and injury prevention; and detecting, preventing and responding to infectious diseases and other public health threats.  

Our Strategic Priorities

NHPHA carries out its work using the following three strategies:

  1. Strengthen the workforce through professional development: We offer training opportunities, student intern stipends, and a public health mentor program.
  2. Develop and implement strategic communications to inspire a public health movement: We disseminate communications messages through a variety of media to keep members and the public updated on key public health issues.
