Public health and health care reform: the American Public Health Association's perspective.

This paper discusses the American Public Health Association's goals with regards to the current health care reform debate. By outlining the organization's historical context with regards to health care reform as well as the parameters of the current medical care and public health crises, the paper explains why APHA's advocacy efforts focused on two major issues: the adoption of a national health program that features universal coverage with a comprehensive set of benefits for all our nation's residents, and the enhancement of the federal, state, and local public health infrastructure. The paper argues that both medical care services and public health programs must be expanded if we are to improve the nation's overall health status.

Podiatric medicine and public health. Concepts and perspectives. Special Commission of the Podiatric Health Section of the American Public Health Association.

Podiatric physicians play an important role in the field of public health. In 1975, the Podiatric Health Section of the American Public Health Association (APHA) formulated an official statement of the roles and responsibilities of podiatrists in the public health field. Entitled Functions and Educational Qualifications of Podiatrists in Public Health, the document was published in the September 1975 issue of the American Journal of Public Health. For more than 2 decades, it remained the primary document defining and delineating the activities of the specialist in podiatric public health. Recently, it was recognized that in this time of rapid change in health-care delivery, a revision of this important statement was needed. A mini-grant from the APHA in 1996-1997 supported the formation of a special commission to update the formal position of the APHA and its Podiatric Health Section with respect to podiatric public health and to provide direction for the future. This article is a shortened version of the report issued by the special commission of the APHA.

Breaking away: advocacy, education, and the relationship between Maternal and Child Health Professionals and the American Public Health Association.

Since its founding in 1921, the mission of the Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Section of the American Public Health Association (APHA) has been to develop innovative and creative approaches to addressing the health needs of mothers, children, and families. However, the growth and structure of APHA have impeded the capacity of MCH Section members to accomplish this mission. An independent organization would enhance the effectiveness of advocacy by MCH professionals and facilitate the dissemination of new strategies to address the needs of mothers and children. Consistent with the evolution of the profession of MCH, MCH professionals should withdraw from APHA and create a freestanding organization.
