PAs in Public Health
In 2024, New York State passed a pivotal bill (A.8378-A / S.9038-A) that formally recognized the role of PAs in public health. This legislation allows PAs to serve on county health boards and advisory councils, giving us a voice in shaping local health strategies, emergency planning, and community wellness initiatives. It marks a major step toward integrating clinical expertise into public health decision-making across the state.
