Health Departments Can Continue to Pursue Accreditation, Strengthen Infrastructure, Build Community Partnerships with PHHS Block Grant
Grantees of the National Public Health Improvement Initiative (NPHII) and Community Transformation Grant (CTG) Program are frustrated with the end of federal funding for these productive initiatives. The encouraging news is there are new opportunities ahead to continue these capacity-building and accreditation preparation activities.
A doubling of funds available through the Preventive Health and Health Services (PHHS) Block Grant is providing health departments with new opportunities to start or continue to invest in quality improvement, performance management, and workforce development programs. These capacity-building activities are essential for achieving Block Grant objectives. The PHHS Block Grant can be used to support any Healthy People 2020 goal or objective, including infrastructure objectives related to quality improvement, performance management, and workforce development.
The Public Health Foundation (PHF) is closely monitoring how this expansion of funding can work best for health departments. Stay tuned to future issues of PHF E-News and www.phf.org for updates as more information becomes available about opportunities through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to support capacity-building and accreditation activities.
