At ASPPH, we believe in the power of storytelling to illuminate the impact of public health. That’s why we recently launched a new initiative, Public Health Stories, to gather and amplify real-life narratives that reflect the heart and soul of our field.

From the experiences of frontline workers and academic professionals to the voices of patients and communities, stories can reveal the critical role public health plays in improving lives and driving change.

Now more than ever, we must unite as a public health community and stand firm in our values, championing equity, and preparing the next generation of leaders. Academic public health is a force for innovation, policy advancement, and lasting impact. Through Public Health Stories, we aim to elevate the voices that embody this mission.

We’re inviting students, faculty, alumni, public health professionals, patients, families, and community members to share their personal stories. Your perspectives can help shift the national conversation and demonstrate why robust investment in public health is essential at every level.

Submit your story today and help shape the future of public health.
