SOPHE
Supporting the health education professionals who are working to create a healthier world.
Identify
SOPHE supports and unites a diverse group of health education professionals — researchers, partners, practitioners, students — who work to advance the field and serve as a voice for the public by advocating for their diverse health care needs.
Impact
SOPHE members refine and spread the interventions that matter most, ensuring that health education remains one of the most cost-effective ways to meet our complex and growing healthcare needs.
Activities
SOPHE provides its members, and all those working to improve the world’s health, with the most credible and up-to-date information on public health and health education — what’s needed, what’s new, and what works.
Need
Health education and health literacy are a critical part of a healthier America and world. Health education professionals help prevent disease, increase access, reduce costs, and improve outcomes.
Purpose
To reinforce our base of support, expand our resources, and advance the field, we will target donors and partners who recognize the stake they have in promoting quality health education with a message platform that convinces them that SOPHE is the most authoritative and respected source of health education resources so that they increase their support for SOPHE and deepen their involvement in our campaigns and programs.
