The mission of IAPHA is to strengthen the capacity of local health departments to respond to public health emergencies, prevent illness and promote health.
The Illinois Association of Public Health Administrators (IAPHA) is committed to strengthening the capacity and effectiveness of local health departments and public health leaders across the state. Through collaboration, advocacy, and professional development, the Association works to ensure Illinois is prepared to respond to public health challenges, protect communities, and promote well-being. By supporting administrators and fostering strong partnerships, we help build resilient systems that can respond to emergencies, prevent illness, and safeguard the health of all residents.
IAPHA serves as Illinois' State Association for City and County Health Officers (SACCHO) to the national association.
