MCH Section members should be on the lookout for information forthcoming in June/July about APHA’s PHACT Campaign, to educate our members of Congress on important public health policies that build and maintain healthy communities. During the August Congressional recess, Aug. 9 - Sept. 10, we are asking APHA members and affiliates to reach out to their Congressional representatives in their home districts to express support for public health funding, healthy transportation policies, and improving child nutrition and wellness policies that build healthy communities.
