As the only Canadian non-governmental organization focused exclusively on public health, CPHA is uniquely positioned to advise decision-makers about public health system reform and to guide initiatives to help safeguard the personal and community health of Canadians and people around the world.
CPHA is a national, independent, not-for-profit, voluntary association. CPHA’s members believe in universal and equitable access to the basic conditions which are necessary to achieve health for all.

National Collaborating Centre for
Determinants of Health
The National Collaborating Centre for Determinants of Health works towards integrating health equity and the social determinants of health into Canadian public health practice.

They work with the public health field to move knowledge into action-in practice, in policy and in decision making- to achieve societal improvements that result in health for all.
