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's 2009 16th Annual Joint Conference on Health was a Success!
