Message from the 2009 NPHA President, Nancy Menzel
Welcome to the website of the Nevada Public Health Association! This site will provide you with current information about the Association and its activities, NPHA membership, and the state of public health in Nevada. My goal for 2009 is to increase awareness among state and federal legislators and Nevada residents about the vital role that public health plays in primary prevention: promoting health and preventing disease in populations. If you have questions or comments about NPHA or this website, please contact me anytime at (702) 895-5970.
