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.

Partnering With PAs on Education, Action, and Healthier Communities

From equipping PAs for effective patient care, to building their civic awareness and understanding, to joining with health organizations to develop community-based programs – we support PAs so they can focus on their patients.
