Local Health Departments have been the unsung heroes of the COVID-19 response and vaccination efforts. The work over the last 2 1/2 years is in addition to the core functions that are continued to be performed to keep New Jersey communities safe and healthy. LHDs continue to work hard to support their communities, with no State based funding. NJ statute dictates that Public Health Priority Funding (PHPF) should be included in the annual state budget. However, there has not been any allocation of these funds since 2010. The time is now to ensure these funds are included in the 2022-23 budget and protected in future budgets. Help contact the State Assembly & Senate today to showcase your support for A4115 & S2413 which proposes the addition of $10M in PHPF funding to this years budget. |
