Mission Statement
This commission will advise the NYSAFP BOD regarding public health matters to bring focused attention to the public health issues within our society. Given the known disparities for healthcare access for historically marginalized populations, this commission will work specifically with NYSAFP Diversity Equity and Inclusion (DEI) commission to further public health goals with equity. The commission will continue to address public health obstacles within the unique constructs of urban and rural access to health resources.
