SDPHA's Partnership with the Center for Rural Health Improvement:

In order to reinvigorate the South Dakota Public Health Association, the USD Center for Rural Health Improvement was contracted to provide administrative support for the organization.  In 2008 the association will be seeking a permanent Executive Director.  To learn more contact SDPHA president Angela Landeen.

Needs Assessment:

All current and past SDPHA members are invited to complete a Needs Assessment Survey to help us identify our association's strengths and weaknesses.  Please take this opportunity to tell the association how to better serve our members and thereby, improve public health in South Dakota.  Forms are still being accepted and analyzed.
