New public health funding report is eye-opening and disturbing

from The Week in Philly from KYW Newsradio · host Audacy

Public health has been front and center the last few years during the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite its importance, it still doesn't get the respect it deserves and funding is a consistent problem. The non-profit, non-partisan health policy advocacy organization Trust for America's Health is out with its annual report, called The Impact of Chronic Underfunding on America’s Public Health System. We wanted to talk about the report which looks at trends, risks, and makes recommendations for how we can boost public health in the US, so we caught up with Rhea Farberman, the Director of Strategic Communications and Policy Research at Trust for America's Health. Look at the report here: https://www.tfah.org/report-details/funding-report-2022/
