Minnesota Public Health Association

Since 1907, MPHA has been dedicated to creating a healthier Minnesota through effective public health practice and engaged citizens. 
How to get involved with MPHA

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. 


Please click on the committee name to contact the co-chairs for more information.
