The Community Health Planning and Policy Development (CHPPD) Section members use evidence-based planning and policy approaches to eliminate disparities and promote healthy communities. Founded in 1969, the CHPPD Section is an engaging place to share information and debate critical issues related to planning, and to learn how policy is shaped at the local, state and national levels.

We invite you to share, discuss, and debate public health planning and policy developments, and get involved in Section activities focusing on membership engagement, policy development, program planning and student involvement. Your participation is vital to our continued success.
