Welcome!

Welcome to the Connecticut Public Health Association! We strive to promote public health in and around Connecticut by supporting advocacy activities, mentoring students, and educating professionals through our various events.  The CPHA is a non-profit organization that also has a large community of working professionals, join today to connect with our community and support public health in Connecticut. 

Public health challenges are in a constant state of change, which means that public health practice must evolve to meet new demands with innovative research, policies, and programs. To be most effective, we must collaborate across our varied professions and sectors in order to approach these challenges in a “big picture,” multi-dimensional way.  Join us at CPHA’s 2019 Annual Conference as we explore the many innovative solutions to today’s public health concerns, including mental health issues, substance use disorders, obesity, and gun violence, among others.
