NYSPHA's policy and advocacy agenda is developed and led by the PAC.

NYSPHA Statements of Policy
The PAC is developing a series of NYSPHA Statements of Policy. Modeled after the American Public Health Association policy statements, they lay out NYSPHA's position on the leading public health issues of the day and are used by the PAC as the basis for determining its advocacy priorities each year.
