ASTHO is a national nonprofit that represents the public health agencies of the United States, its territories, and the District of Columbia, along with the roughly 120,000 public health professionals they employ. Its members are chief health officials who work to shape public health policy and to ensure excellence in state-based public health practice. The organization is based in Arlington, Virginia, and operates with a mid-sized staff. In the public health landscape, ASTHO functions as a policy and practice hub that supports jurisdictions in developing sound policies and advancing workforce planning. A notable development in 2026 was the launch of a public health data consortium formed in collaboration with Veritas Data Research and HealthVerity, reflecting an emphasis on cross-organizational data initiatives. The organization serves state and territorial health agencies and their chief officials, helping coordinate resources and collaboration to strengthen public health practice across jurisdictions.
