Public Health Roundtable

The Washington State Public Health Association co-convenes the Public Health Roundtable, a coalition of organizations that advocate for a stable, long-term, flexible source of revenue to address our state’s public health needs.

Members of the Public Health Roundtable lend their voices to key budget and policy debates with our state legislators and the Governor, at critical times during the legislature’s annual session.

Join the Washington State Public Health Association and lend your voice to this important effort.

If your organization is interested in being part of the Public Health Roundtable, please contact us.
