President’s Message

I’m pleased to return as President of NYSPHA for the 2024-25 term.

NYSPHA is a membership-driven organization. We continue to solicit your input, expertise, and energy so that together we can make a difference in communities across the state.

Public health is a dynamic field, and there are always new issues to tackle. We banded together to address the COVID-19 pandemic; now we have new issues that challenge us, including the mental health impact of the pandemic, climate change, gun violence, reproductive rights, and inclusivity for racial/ethnic minorities and the LGBTQ+ community. At NYSPHA, we can work together to address these issues through advocacy, education, and action.  Please view our committee page to learn more about how to get involved.  If you’re not currently a member, please consider joining by clicking here.  Please feel free to contact me and others on the Board by visiting our Leadership and Staff page.
