Making the Case for Prevention and Public Health Fund
As we prepare to defend the Prevention and Public Health Fund (PPHF) as a key public health provision of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), we need as many BCHC members as possible to undertake a host of grassroots advocacy activities, ranging from outreach to Congressional offices, to sharing testimonials with BCHC staff, to writing op-eds, and talking to members of the media.
Key to the message is sharing stories about how PPHF-funded programs make a difference locally, particularly focusing on the fact that these dollars now fund CORE public health programs, like the 317 vaccine program, epi/lab capacity, lead/healthy housing, and the preventive services block grant.
Please let us know which of the following activities you'd be willing to assist with and a Coalition staff member will follow up.
