Your Voice Needed as Washington State Legislature Considers Whether to Invest in Public Health Services and Programs

Over the past year, over 300 public health jobs have been lost.  This loss comes on top of hundreds of other lay-offs over the past few years.   The Legislature will determine, between now and March 15, whether or not to invest in public health services and programs, as varied as Maternal Support Services, HIV/AIDS prevention, and core public health functions.  Take Action

WSPHA Volunteers Take Action to Help Haiti:  Please Donate Today

As professionals in public health, we are concerned about people and communities everywhere. The current situation in Haiti reflects a human tragedy of an incomprehensible scale.  Find out where to help.

 John B., Public Health Nurse and WSPHA Volunteer

As a Public Health Nurse, I woke up today knowing that I had to do something.  I have worked with populations here in Washington who face challenges.  I cannot imagine the suffering right now in Haiti.  I hope that I'm helping public health nurses and docs who are on the ground right now. Even if I can't be there, I can support my colleagues who are.
