We are so proud of our growing community of schools and programs of public health that continue to change the world through their dedication to academic public health! Year after year, our member institutions make lasting impacts, driving innovation, equity, and healthier futures for all. We couldn’t do what we do without them! Happy holidays ✨
Even if they don't understand, we do! Public health is everywhere—shaping our communities, protecting our health, and making a difference every day. Here's to celebrating the incredible impact of public health during the holidays and beyond!
Health isn't confined to hospitals and clinics alone. It extends into preventative measures through public health efforts all around us, even in the most unexpected places.
From your neighborhood park promoting physical activity, to seatbelts keeping you safe on the road, public health initiatives are woven into the fabric of our daily lives.
When you're in the public health field, your impact is bigger than you might think.

ASPPH/USDA Rural Health Fellow Tamara Telles shares her Social Media Fellow Takeover this #RuralHealthDay.
Over the past decade, Tamara has worked on diverse public health initiatives in rural, frontier, and urban settings across several states and countries within non-profit organizations, academia, and currently at the federal level. Ms. Telles received her master’s in public health (MPH) with an emphasis in social and behavioral health from the University of Nevada, Reno’s School of Public Health.
“This fellowship has provided me the opportunity to work on several different rural health projects.”
“Exposure to federal government work, protocols, and the opportunity to meet and support experts and leaders across USDA and other federal agencies has not only gifted me amazing learning experiences and personal growth, but also the privilege to network and expand my knowledge and understanding of what else I can do as a public health professional. It is a true privilege to accept this opportunity and gain the most out of it.”
Applications for the next fellowship cycle will be announced very soon! Keep an eye out on our socials so you don’t miss this opportunity.
