Who are we?

The Lewiston-Auburn Public Health Committee (LAPHC) was formed in 2008 to address the need for a well-coordinated, well-defined system of public health in the Lewiston/Auburn area. Public health is the prevention of epidemics, injuries and disease; the protection against environmental hazards; the promotion of healthy behaviors; the quick response to disasters and communities in recovery; and the quality and accessibility of health services. Public health efforts focus on populations while health care is individually-based. Updated 5/10/2010

Public health activities focus on nationally defined “10 Essential Public Health Services (EPHS).” In its 2010 strategic planning session, the LAPHC reviewed the 10 EPHS to determine our primary areas of interest and where we think we can make a difference.

Vision: Healthy people living in the healthy communities of Lewiston and Auburn.

Mission: To create public health partnerships that promote physical and mental health and prevent disease, injury and disability.
