PHACT: Call for Federal Public Health Funds at Work in Your State

In addition to attending town hall meetings this year, APHA would like you to share a story about why public health funding is important in your community or state. We are especially interested in hearing about funding that comes from the:

·         Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

·         Health Resources and Services Administration

·         Prevention and Public Health Fund

Please tell us about:   

·         The program/intervention - the Public Health issue being addressed and the intervention being used

·         The city and state in which the program is being implemented

·         An estimate of the amount of the funding received

·         Positive outcomes to date

We look forward to hearing from you.  Please submit your story to http://www.apha.org/advocacy/tips/stories.htm or

email us at phact@apha.org.

Thanks for taking action to protect public health!
