Prevention and Public Health Fund

The Prevention and Public Health Fund is a significant funding source established by the Affordable Care Act to support public health initiatives in the United States. Its primary goal is to improve health outcomes by funding programs that prevent diseases, promote healthy lifestyles, and ensure communities have access to essential health services. By investing in preventive measures, the fund aims to reduce healthcare costs over time, improve population health, and enhance health equity. This approach emphasizes the importance of prevention in healthcare rather than just treating illness after it occurs.
