Abstract
The Maryland Public Health Association (MdPHA) and its Advocacy Committee tackle health disparities through legislative initiatives. By partnering with state affiliates, MdPHA influences critical areas such as environmental health, health equity, behavioral health, violence prevention, and food security. Their advocacy has led to significant legislative achievements that enhance health promotion and equity. This paper highlights MdPHA’s complex work in advocating for evidence-based policies in 2024 to reduce health inequities and lists recommendations for other state affiliates.
