J. Nadine Gracia, M.D., MSCE, TFAH President and CEO sat with the American Public Health Association's APHA TV at #APHA2024 to discuss TFAH’s recent Blueprint for a Healthier America report. The conversation focused on the report’s recommendations for advancing the #publichealth system and workforce, as well as educating policymakers about the importance of increased and sustained public health funding. The report’s six priority areas focus on: • Ensuring that public health is ready to meet the growing health challenges of the 21st century through strong and robust infrastructure and workforce, • Strengthening public health readiness for health security threats, • Promoting health and well-being across a person’s lifespan, • Advancing health equity by addressing structural discrimination, • Addressing non-medical drivers of health, and • Protecting the scientific integrity and effectiveness of federal public health agencies. As Dr. Gracia stated, “Public health and the public health system is at an inflection point and it is critical that we act.” TFAH is joined by public health advocates, organizations, and practitioners in championing the report’s message and policy recommendations.
