Support Pennies for Prevention!

Join WPHA in supporting Pennies for Prevention. This new initiative is designed to raise awareness and support for the Public Health Council Finance Report. WPHA and WALHDAB have both sent letters to the Governor and Secretary of Health Services Karen Timberlke urging them to support the Council's report.

We now need you to make your voice heard. We are asking members to sign and send letters of support for Pennies for Prevention to the Secretary and Governor. The joint WPHA-WALHDAB letter is available as a template, and a copy of the report is available for reference.
