Mental health is a critical component of public health and prevention, early detection and treatment can lead to improved physical and community health. Public health can incorporate mental and emotional health into prevention strategies and activities.

Let’s work together to improve the health of people living with disabilities & other marginalized groups by reducing health disparities in health insurance, increasing physical accessibility to care & increasing availability of appropriate care.

Urge your legislators to pass laws and funding that support greater access to health care for all and support public health leaders, doctors, nurses, journalists, community members, and activists around the world who face attacks for defending our right to health.

The public health workforce should possess skills and knowledge that cut across disciplines in areas like policy, communications and data analytics. To support this effort check out the APTR Health In All Education initiative. http://ow.ly/1wvc30sgxjh

Thank you APTR members for training the future public health workforce to address the health challenges of our present & future. A diverse workforce that reflects the diversity of the community is better prepared to address support the communities they serve.

We must transform our systems and dismantle policies and practices that uphold racism and continue inequities. We must make racial equity central to health equity.

On the 20th anniversary of September 11th and the attacks on our country, we remember Paul Ambrose, MD, MPH; APTR Luther Terry Fellow and the almost 3,000 lives lost. Following his vision, the APTR Paul Ambrose Scholars Program supports leadership development for students pursuing careers in preventive medicine and public health.
