Issue Date:

---

In addition to attending town hall meetings this year, APHA would like for you to share a story about why public health funding is important in your community or state. Preferably, the funding would come from one of these three sources:

1. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
2. Health Resources and Services Administration
3. Prevention and Public Health Fund

 Examples can provide:

• An approximate estimate of the amount of the funding received
• Location of the program (City, state)
• A summary of the program/intervention (PH issue and intervention being used)
• Any examples of positive outcomes to date

Make all submission to http://www.apha.org/advocacy/tips/stories.htm or email us at phact@apha.org.
Thanks for taking action to protect public health!
