The COVID-19 pandemic is the latest reminder of the vital importance of public health and need for a future-forward, future-ready public health system.
Although public health has been chronically under resourced, significant funding into the public health system during the COVID-19 pandemic creates opportunities to build a resilient, trusted system that helps assure everyone can attain their full potential for health and well-being. Public health needs a harmonized, strategic, and action-oriented approach for exploring these opportunities.
The CDC Foundation convened an initial national series on the future of public health in collaboration with the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials, the National Association of County and City Health Officials, Big Cities Health Coalition, and other public health partners to advance recommendations for a modernized U.S. public health system.
