Preventive Health & Health Services Block Grant

The Preventive Health and Health Services Block Grant Program (PHHSBG) is  funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The PHHSBG allows us to:

  • Address emerging health issues and gaps
  • Decrease premature death and disabilities by focusing on the leading preventable risk factors
  • Establish data and surveillance systems to monitor the health status of targeted populations

  • Work to achieve health equity and eliminate health disparities by addressing the social determinants of health

Our funding may be allocated to different health topic areas including:

  • Educational and Community-Based Programs
  • Emergency Medical Services
  • Heart Disease and Stroke
  • Immunization and Infectious Diseases
  • Injury and Violence Prevention
  • Maternal, Infant, and Child Health
