About The NHPHA
Advancing Public Health, Connecting Communities, Creating Impact
NHPHA was established in 1990 and incorporated in 1992 as a 501c(3) private, not-for-profit organization. In January 2004, the organization declared 501c(3)(h) status. NHPHA is affiliated with the American Public Health Association (APHA), working together to share knowledge and resources and advocate for public health priorities at the local, state, and federal levels. APHA is the national voice for public health, promoting health for all people and communities. It has been around for nearly 150 years, combining a broad-based member community and the ability to influence federal policy to improve the public’s health. You can learn more at www.apha.org.
