About Us
Our Mission
The National Public Health Coalition (NPHC) is a grassroots organization whose mission is to educate about, and advocate for, the protection of public health as a vital government service – past, present, and future.
Our Vision
We envision a robust, well-funded public health system that serves the needs of the American people. This includes a professional workforce that is well-supported and protected from political interference.

Interdependence
Public health touches everything – it impacts the whole person, whole population, and whole place. Public health systems must reflect and respond to the unique needs of individuals, communities, and localities.
