Indiana Public Health Association

What Indiana Public Health Association does

Indiana Public Health Association (IPHA) is a nonprofit membership association founded in 1946 as the Indiana state affiliate of the American Public Health Association (APHA), formally incorporated in 1964. Headquartered at 615 North Alabama Street, Suite 119 in Indianapolis, IPHA serves public health professionals, students, and health-related organizations across Indiana. The organization provides networking, professional development, training, advocacy, and continuing education through a portfolio of programs including an annual conference, Health Equity Summits, the Health Equity Action Team (HEAT), a Policy & Advocacy Committee, Virtual Lunch Meet-Ups, Community Conversations, an IPHA Job Board, professional development trainings, civic engagement resources via Vote for Health, and a Local Public Health resource library. Operational delivery is handled by two staff directors (Iliana Enriquez, Director of Social Innovation and Community Engagement; and Fatma Yousif, Director of Public Health) supported through a professional services agreement with Health by Design signed in 2019.

IPHA does not operate proprietary technology. Its stack consists of commodity SaaS platforms: JoinIt for membership enrollment, Constant Contact for the monthly newsletter, Zoom for virtual events and meetings, and Zeffy for donation processing. The organization distributes its programs through self-serve digital channels (website, online registration) and partnership networks, including a funded internship pipeline supported by the Region V Public Health Training Center (RVPHTC). Technology investment is limited to integration and configuration of these third-party tools rather than internal development.

IPHA's revenue is generated through membership dues (individual and organizational, with student first-year free and $25/year thereafter), donations, sponsorships, and event fees. The organization reports hundreds of individual members and 28+ organizational members spanning government health departments (e.g., Marion County Public Health Department), academic institutions (Indiana University, Purdue University), major health systems (Saint Joseph Health System, Indiana Hemophilia & Thrombosis Center, IU Health), insurers (Anthem, MDwise), and nonprofit health providers (Aspire Indiana Health, Oaklawn). IPHA is governed by a Board of Directors and recognized as the APHA Council of Affiliates Outstanding Affiliate of the Year in 2022.

Broad incumbents

• National Association of County and City Health Officials: National membership organization representing local governmental public health departments. NACCHO serves a complementary local-government constituency to IPHA's state-level professional membership and operates a similar advocacy, training, and networking model across the U.S.
• Association of State and Territorial Health Officials: National association representing state-level public health agencies. ASTHO serves a state-government constituency overlapping with IPHA's Indiana policy and advocacy efforts and represents a broader-scale, government-facing analogous model.

Direct peers

• American Public Health Association: National parent-equivalent of IPHA and the federation that IPHA is affiliated with. APHA is the largest membership-based public health association in the U.S., providing the structure, branding, and advocacy platform that Indiana's affiliate model mirrors.
• Illinois Public Health Association: Sister APHA state affiliate serving Illinois. Operates the same model — individual and organizational membership, advocacy, professional development, and student engagement — making it the most structurally comparable peer organization to IPHA.
• Ohio Public Health Association: APHA state affiliate serving Ohio with comparable membership, advocacy, and professional development programming for public health professionals in a neighboring Midwestern state.
• Michigan Association for Local Public Health: Michigan-based public health membership organization focused on local and state public health workforce. Comparable Midwestern, state-level peer to IPHA in terms of advocacy, training, and professional association mission.

Others

• Trust for America's Health: National nonprofit focused on public health policy research and advocacy. Operates in the same public-health ecosystem as IPHA but at a national policy-research level rather than state-level member services.
• Public Health Foundation: National nonprofit focused on public health workforce development, training, and performance improvement. Adjacent to IPHA's professional development and training mission for Indiana's public health workforce.
• National Association of Local Boards of Health: National membership organization supporting local boards of health with governance resources and training. Adjacent to IPHA's 'Local Public Health' resource library and Local Boards of Health Manual offerings.
