Our Approach

How the Alliance Works

Public health work has often happened in silos. The Alliance for the Public’s health brings partners together to break down those barriers and work in greater alignment.

Through the Alliance, partners:

  • Share information and strategies across sectors

  • Coordinate messaging and communications to strengthen a shared voice

  • Work together to protect policies, funding and infrastructure that support healthy communities

  • Help shape a long-term vision for public health systems that can better meet the needs of all communities

By working together, partners are building momentum and making progress that would be difficult to achieve alone.

Key Issue Areas

The Alliance focuses on a set of key issue areas that are essential to a strong and effective public health system. These areas help guide where partners align their efforts and take action together.

Funding – Sustaining and increasing investment in public health systems and services at the local, state and national levels.

Infrastructure – Strengthening the systems, workforce and resources that support health across communities

Communications – Building a clear, consistent voice about the value of public health, while reaching and centering new and underrepresented voices

Policy – Advancing and protecting policies that support healthy communities

Data – Improving access to timely, reliable data to inform decisions and protect health

What This Collaboration Makes Possible

By bringing partners together, the Alliance is supporting:

  • A stronger and more coordinated public health system

  • Continued investment in the programs and resources that keep communities healthy

  • Greater understanding among leaders and decision-makers about why protecting the public’s health matters
