| KPHA has been influencing policies
and setting priorities in public health for Kansas since 1920. Throughout
our history
we have been in the forefront of numerous efforts to prevent disease
and promote health.
The Kansas Public Health Association (KPHA) is
the oldest and largest organization of public health professionals
in the state, representing more than 800 members from over 50 occupations/organizations.
KPHA brings together researchers, health service
providers, administrators, teachers, and other health workers in
a unique, multidisciplinary environment of professional exchange,
study, and action.
KPHA is concerned with a broad set of issues affecting
personal and environmental health, including federal and state funding
for health programs, pollution control, programs and policies related
to chronic and infectious diseases, a smoke-free society, and professional
education in public health.
