Making the Public's Health a National Priority
At a time when chronic diseases and health inequities continue to burden communities, our commitment to public health must be stronger than ever. Grounded in the belief that health is a human right, the American Public Health Association (APHA) 2025 theme highlights the urgent need to shift focus from treatment to prevention. By investing in community health, strengthening public health systems, and advancing evidence-based policies, we can build a healthier, more equitable future for all.

72 Dragons at APHA
At 72 Dragons, we create engaging, evidence-based health content—both articles and videos—aligned with APHA’s mission and ongoing public health priorities. For the APHA 2025 theme, ‘Making the Public’s Health a National Priority,’ we develop compelling articles, Heroes of Public Health interviews, and health videos that highlight key discussions from the event, showcase innovative prevention strategies, and amplify the voices of public health leaders. Our work not only reflects the core values of prevention, equity, and policy emphasized at APHA, but also makes complex topics accessible and impactful for diverse audiences, driving awareness and action well beyond the conference.
