AAPA’s National Health Priorities & PA Resources
Today, we face numerous health epidemics affecting both body and mind, and the human, economic, and societal costs are real. AAPA, the PA Foundation, and the PA community are committed to working with our partners to improve patient health in four priority areas responsible for many of the life-threatening conditions affecting Americans today: Behavioral and Mental Health, Diabetes, Nutrition, and Obesity. Using our combined resources, expertise, and creativity, we can make a difference.
