Welcome!
Initially founded in 1919 as the Oklahoma Tuberculosis Association, today, the Oklahoma Public Health Association (OPHA) is a 501(c)(3) nonpartisan nonprofit providing a forum for dedicated public health and allied health students, practitioners and researchers across the state. As a member association, OPHA offers a variety of learning, professional development, peer engagement opportunities and events for both the public and our more than 1,100 active members. With the mission to protect and promote public health in Oklahoma through education, practice and advocacy, our offerings aim to strengthen Oklahoma's public health workforce by growing cross-discipline and interorganizational skills, knowledge, and connections.
OPHA is an independent organization affiliated with the American Public Health Association (APHA), and has collaborated with APHA to grow stronger as organizations, to share expertise, influence, and resources, and to advocate for common priorities at the local, state and federal levels since 1939. APHA champions optimal, equitable health and well-being for all. With APHA's broad-based member community and 150 year perspective, it influences federal policy to improve the public's health.
