Join us on Friday, March 24, 2023 at the New Brighton Community Center for the third forum of this series ("Safety is No Accident: Public Health Approaches to Injury Prevention...in our Communities and Schools")! Check-in and a light breakfast begin at 7:30am. Forums begin promptly at 8:00 am and conclude at 9:30am.

Are our community spaces becoming more violent? Is anywhere safe? This forum will examine the initiatives that have emerged to change the narrative about community safety and the community environments where we live, learn, work and play.

The Minnesota Public Health Association’s (MPHA) Leadership Committee announces the call for nominations for MPHA’s 2023 elected offices on Governing Council.

Please consider nominating a colleague or yourself to serve in an MPHA office. If you have an interest in being more active in MPHA and in public health, this is a great way to become involved. We want our Governing Council to be representative of the finest leaders in public health, and we need your input to make that happen!

Submit a nomination by April 4th!

A great way to get involved in MPHA is to join one of our formal committees or special interest groups!

You can choose to spend as little or as much of your time on participating in ongoing committee activities, attending meetings (conference call options available), or assisting with one-time projects and events.

Join a Committee!

Established in 1907, MPHA is a volunteer driven organization representing a broad spectrum of community and health professionals on behalf of the public. It is an organization where public health workers from multiple disciplines and sectors come together around shared values and goals. We engage and develop our members to mobilize the community to protect and improve the public’s health.
