The South Dakota Public Health Association
is the only trade association in South Dakota for
public health professionals and has long been an outspoken voice on issues affecting the health of
South Dakotans.
SDPHA has supported mandatory seat belt
usage, restricting smoking in public places,
prohibiting the sale of tobbaco to minors and
age appropriate immunizations of children.
Our mission is to promote and protect the health
of individuals, families and the communities.
This is accomplished through 4 major activities:
Influencing educational opportunities for
public health and health-related occupations.
Increasing community awareness of public
health concerns.
Initiating and supporting needed legislative
action on specific health concerns.
Stimulating the organization, financing,
coordination and delivery of health services
to all South Dakotans.
