Principles / Values
We believe that the effective principles and practice of public health professional disciplines are central to the health and well-being of Michigan's people and communities.

We believe that all Michigan residents have a right to access clinically and culturally appropriate, timely, and affordable preventive and therapeutic health care.

We believe that diversity within Michigan's populations, among various cultures, and between the professional health disciplines enhances and enriches the public's health.

We believe that inclusion of a variety of viewpoints, partnerships and teamwork involving broad representation of professionals and community members, and multidisciplinary interaction are essential to accomplishing significant improvements in the public's health.

We believe that honest, clear, timely communication at the local, state, and national levels about critical public health issues requires an independent, voluntary association which bridges and transcends the traditional organizational and disciplinary boundaries.

We believe that excellent support for association members at all levels and in diverse disciplines contributes to the public's health by providing an expert workforce that can innovate, develop, and sustain efforts for the future.
