vermont Public Health association
Our Mission The Vermont Public Health Association (VtPHA) is a membership organization whose purpose is to protect and promote personal, community and environmental health within our State. Our Purpose VtPHA is a statewide membership organization that seeks to positively influence the health of all Vermonters and provide an important voice on public health issues at the national, state and local level. Land Acknowledgement We recognize that we live and work in Wôbanakik, Dawnland, the historical and current unceded homeland of the Abenaki people. Labor Acknowledgement We acknowledge that much of this country’s culture and economic growth and development has been made possible by the labor of enslaved African and their ascendants. VtPHA Statement on Roe v. Wade Overturned The Supreme Court’s decision of Roe v. Wade reverses the constitutional right to an abortion. This action creates a national crisis that will endanger the health and welfare of women and individuals with a uterus and deny them their rights to access full reproductive health care which includes abortion services. The VtPHA applauds our Vermont Congressional Delegation and our Vermont State Legislators who are working to codify abortion rights and ensure complete autonomy in matters of reproductive health at both the state and national level. The VtPHA supports Vermont’s Proposition 5, that, if passed in November 2022, will amend the Constitution of the State of Vermont to ensure that every Vermonter is afforded personal reproductive liberty. Please refer to the VtPHA policy on Women’s Reproductive Rights and the APHA statement on the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
