The transition from higher education into the professional field of public health is exciting. Hawai‘i Public Health Association (HPHA) provides a bridge for students to begin their journey as benefactors to the community. Many of our students have the drive to serve our unique and diverse communities of Hawai‘i and HPHA provides the avenues in which public health career development can begin. Through the events and services provided, HPHA makes those connections and alleviates the stress students have toward the transition into their careers ultimately supporting the public health workforce.
