For science. For action. For health. APHA American Public Health Association logo.


APHA is the leading voice and advocate for improving the public’s health, and an active participant in conversations impacting the health of all Americans. We work with journalists covering the nation’s health and telling the stories of Americans looking to live healthy lives and public health workers on the frontlines of caring for all.
 
The following are some of the recent media pieces that Dr. Georges Benjamin, APHA's executive director, participated in:

• We've been involved in lots of conversations with the media regarding the removal of CDC Director Susan Monarez, with coverage in CNBC [ [link removed] ] , LiveNOW Fox [ [link removed] ] , STAT [ [link removed] ] , Scientific American [ [link removed] ] , AP [ [link removed] ] and more.
 • Scripps News [ [link removed] ] ran a story on the leaked MAHA report.
 • MedPage Today [ [link removed] ] ran a story with us calling for a stronger response from RFK, Jr. following the CDC shooting.
 • The Atlantic [ [link removed] ] ran a story about how scientists start to look like activists as they fight back against the Trump administration.
 • STAT [ [link removed] ] ran an op-ed from Dr. Benjamin calling on President Trump to reinstate CDC Director Susan Monarez.

Speak for Health

Public health is under threat from program cuts, misinformation and attacks on science — putting decades of progress at risk.
 
At APHA, we’re speaking out, filing lawsuits and taking action to defend evidence-based policies and protect the systems that keep people healthy. But we can’t do it alone.
