Established in 1999, Public Health Advocates' mission is to promote health equity by helping cities, counties, and states become places that nurture health and well-being for everyone. We conduct strategic research to identify and publicize health disparities, partner with communities to organize state and local campaigns, and help advance policies that address the underlying causes of those disparities. Some of these challenges include the impact of the COVID pandemic on communities, childhood trauma, homelessness, access to healthy food, among other critical issues that disproportionately affect low-income communities and communities of color.
