Oregon Public Health Association

The Oregon Public Health Association works to ensure that every Oregonian has the opportunity to live a healthy life. We do this by promoting laws, policies, and programs that protect the health of our families, communities, and workplaces. Our focus is on preventing disease and injury.

Our membership includes individuals and organizations in regions across the state, providing OPHA with a strong combination of grassroots strength and technical expertise. We succeed by bringing together the power of our members with community organizing, coalition building, public and professional education, and advocacy. Founded in 1944, the OPHA is an affiliate of the American Public Health Association, the oldest and largest public health association in the nation.
