DC Public Health Association
Who are we
The District of Columbia Public Health Association (DCPHA) is dedicated to protecting personal, public, and environmental health in Washington, D.C.
The District of Columbia Public Health Association is an affiliated association of the American Public Health Association (APHA). We have collaborated with APHA to grow stronger as organizations, to share expertise, influence, and resources, and to advocate for common priorities at the local, state and federal levels. APHA is the national voice of public health and champions the health of all people and all communities. It is the only organization that combines a 150-year perspective, a broad-based member community and the ability to influence federal policy to improve the public’s health.

The DCPHA is committed to:
-
Protecting and promoting personal, public and environmental health.
- Studying and attempt to resolve health problems.
- Meeting and sharing knowledge and experience in order to achieve the organization’s goal.
- Providing leadership in public health by initiating and supporting voluntary and governmental action to meet health needs or to remedy health problems.
- Promoting continuing educational opportunities for public health and allied workers to help them acquire new or broader knowledge and develop skills to provide more effective health services.
