Educate! Advocate! Promote! Provide!

In April 1921, a group of physicians founded the South Carolina Public Health Association (SCPHA) in order to address critical public health issues in the state. SCPHA has since evolved into a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that is incorporated under the State of South Carolina and has a diverse membership representing multiple disciplines.

Climate Action Resilience Week

SCPHA will host Climate Action Resilience Week (November 4th - 8th) to raise climate awareness among the college-aged group. This youth-led initiative empowers local changemakers to address climate concerns for a sustainable future. With 84% of global youth worried about climate change, SCPHA seeks to identify their concerns to shape future decisions and research.

Throughout the week, activities will address critical climate issues, including extreme heat and weather, recycling, food insecurity, and the mental health impacts of climate disasters.
