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. VtPHA Statement on the Texas Abortion Ban The Vermont Public Health Association (VtPHA) is extremely concerned over the newly enacted Texas statute banning abortion at six weeks of pregnancy and the Supreme Court’s failure to block this harmful legislation. Women have a right to full reproductive health care, including abortion services. The Texas legislation intentionally negates a woman’s right to choose and enables enforcement by intimidation and vigilantism by actions of citizens who oppose a woman’s right to reproductive choice. The Texas law is now emboldening other states to do the same. The VtPHA applauds our Vermont Congressional Delegation and our Vermont State legislators who are working to codify abortion rights at both the state and national level. Please refer to the VtPHA policy on Women’s Reproductive Rights and the APHA statement on the Texas abortion ban. COVID-19 Resources The situation and the public health response to the pandemic of the COVID-19 virus is rapidly changing. Information for public health professionals, providers, and the public is constantly being revised to reflect the latest knowledge and guidance about this disease.
