As a nonprofit, nonpartisan public health policy, research, and advocacy organization, TFAH envisions a nation that values the health and well-being of all and where prevention and health equity are foundational to policymaking at all levels of society. Across the range of public health issues TFAH addressed, including public health emergency preparedness, public health funding, obesity and chronic disease prevention, infectious disease, substance misuse and suicide, healthy aging, health equity, social determinants of health, and prevention, TFAH promoted public health policies that affect the entire nation, with an emphasis on how such policies and programs can promote healthy individuals and communities regardless of geography.TFAH maintains and enhances its work with partners on high-impact health issues. Throughout its efforts, TFAH is also committed to advancing health equity and addressing the social determinants of health, which are the conditions in which people are born, grow, work, live, and age, including through collaborative, multisectoral approaches. TFAHs work is guided by values of equity, independence, evidence-based, trust, partnerships, innovation, and financial stewardship.TFAHs projects focused on advancing an evidence-based public health system that is ready to meet the challenges and opportunities of the 21st century. TFAH successfully published evidence-based reports; developed and advanced effective policy recommendations and approaches; convened learning collaboratives; spearheaded targeted initiatives and outreach; collaborated with partners at the national, state, and local levels; and produced educational resources.Among TFAHs accomplishments in 2023:TFAH released Legislative Priorities for the 118th Congress. In this issue brief, TFAH recommended Congress work to: (1) Modernize and Strengthen Public Health in Every Community; (2) Prepare the Nation for Health Emergencies and Outbreaks; (3) Promote Health and Prevent Chronic Diseases Across the Lifespan; and (4) Prevent Deaths from Substance Use and Suicide.TFAH hosted an in-person and livestream event recognizing the 20th anniversary of its State of Obesity: Better Policies for a Healthier America report at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. The two-hour event featured White House and federal officials discussing the Biden Administrations priorities for improving nutrition and health including its National Strategy on Hunger, Nutrition, and Health. Senior federal agency officials discussed a whole-of-government approach to advance transformative policies and programs designed to address increasing rates of diet-related diseases and improve the health of the nation. The event also included a panel of community leaders and medical experts discussing effective community level obesity prevention programs and innovative approaches to create sustainable change to promote health.TFAH continued to co-lead the Public Health Communications Collaborative (PHCC). PHCC is an important and trusted source of messaging and communications support earning engagement with federal, state, and local public health officials and departments nationwide. Since its inception in August 2020 and throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, PHCC has provided vital messaging resources to the public health community that are timely, clear, credible, and effective messages. PHCCs products include webinars, and via its website, messaging guidance, answers to tough questions, COVID-19 misinformation alerts, and downloadable/shareable social graphics. With the end of the public health emergency, PHCC began to produce messaging materials on other critical public health issues including routine vaccine uptake, countering misinformation, rebuilding trust in the public health system, developing culturally appropriate messaging, and protecting the publics health from climate impacted health risks like poor air quality. TFAH planned and hosted a congressional briefing and national webinar on its release of Ready or Not 2023: Protecting the Publics Health from Disease, Disasters, and Bioterrorism. The annual report measures states degree of preparedness to respond to a wide spectrum of health emergencies and to provide ongoing public health services. In 2022, we saw the U.S. surpassing 1 million deaths due to COVID-19, decreasing rates of routine vaccinations, and increasing prevalence of health misinformation. In addition, in 2022 the U.S. experienced 10 or more billion-dollar weather-related disasters for the eighth consecutive year. During the briefing, a panel of subject matter experts discussed the nations readiness for public health emergencies, examined the findings of the report, and discussed key recommendations for policymakers.TFAH planned and hosted a congressional briefing and national webinar on its release of The Impact of Chronic Underfunding on Americas Public Health System: Trends, Risks, and Recommendations, 2023. This annual report tracks federal, state, and local investment in public health and how underinvestment in public health programs continues to put Americans' lives and livelihoods at risk. Policymakers are asking: With the United States spending far more on healthcare compared to other high-income nations, why does our nation still yield substantially worse health outcomes and what funding and policy actions must we take to see better results? During the briefing, experts in public health policy and funding discussed the critical need for increased and sustained funding that specifically targets public health and prevention and how to address the longstanding gaps in public health capacity resulting from chronic underfunding.TFAH planned and hosted a congressional briefing and national webinar on its release of Pain in the Nation 2023: The Epidemics of Alcohol, Drug and Suicide Deaths. Deaths associated with alcohol, drugs, and suicide took the lives of 209,225 Americans in 2021, a 11 percent one year increase in the combined death rate. The increase in 2021 death rates occurred among all ages, races, and geographic groups, however the report found that increases were particularly high for youth suicides and drug overdoses among certain populations of color and in rural regions of the country. During the briefing, a panel of subject matter experts discussed the need for a comprehensive approach that focuses on the underlying causes of these deaths of despair that can help heal individuals and communities and make them more resilient.Through TFAHs ongoing partnership with The John A. Hartford Foundation, TFAH continued to lead Age-Friendly Public Health Systems (AFPHS), an initiative to elevate healthy aging as a core function at state and local health departments. In 2023, TFAH partnered with the National Network of Public Health Institutes (NNPHI) in the selection of 10 public health institutes to participate in the initiative. TFAH and NNPHI will guide these 10 institutes in building their knowledge and expertise in healthy aging, with the goal of developing state department of health action plans based on the AFPHS 6Cs framework. TFAH also launched a podcast in support of the AFPHS initiative. This quarterly podcast features conversations with leaders in the AFPHS movement on opportunities, challenges, and model programs, with a focus on the role public health can play in helping older adults thrive. 4795788 true true false true false false false false false false true false false false true false true false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 29 0 true 21 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 11 11 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false AL AR CA FL GA HI IL KS KY MA MD ME MI MN MS NC ND NH NJ NM NY OR PA RI SC TN VA WI WV X X Stacy Molander 2022239870 1730 M STREET NW STE 900 WASHINGTON DC 20036 J Nadine Gracia MD MSCE President & CEO 40.00 0.00 X 330888 0 25893 Stacy Molander COO 40.00 0.00 X 223703 0 30093 TEKISHA D EVERETTE PhD EXECUTIVE VP 40.00 0.00 X 229460 0 23180 RHEA FARBERMAN Dir Strategic Comm 40.00 0.00 213689 0 38149 DARA LIEBERMAN DIR OF GOVT REL 40.00 0.00 158551 0 30109 McKillop Matthew SR ANALYST 40.00 0.00 125953 0 20427 Megan Wolfe SN POL DEV MNGR 40.00 0.00 121993 0 21466 Cecelia Thomas SR GVT REL MANG 40.00 0.00 128733 0 13084 Stephanie Mayfield Gibson MD Chairman 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 David Lakey MD Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ROBERT T HARRIS MD Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 EDUARDO SANCHEZ MD MPH Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 CYNTHIA M HARRISPhD Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 DAVID FLEMING MD Vice Chair 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 OCTAVIO N MARTINEZ JR MD DPH Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 THEODORE SPENCER Secretary 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Umair A Shah MD MPH Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Vincente Ventimiglia JD Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 John A Rich MD MPH Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 1532970 202401 8 false true false NACCHO 1201 I Street Northwest Fourth Fl WASHINGTON DC 20005 CONSULTING 122175 The George Washington University 44983 Knoll Square Bldg 2 2nd Fl Ashburn VA 20147 CONSULTING 110000 National Network of Public Health Institute 1100 Poydras Street Suite 950 New Orleans LA 70163 technical consultant 218393 Mission Partners LLC P O Box 1400 Rockville MD 20849 COMM SUPPORT 273271 Team Subject Matter LLC 1201 New York Avenue Northwest 900 Washington DC 20005 communication support 380882 5 3554568 3554568 CDC FOUNDATION 541900 44587 44587 Grantmakers In Health 541900 2500 2500 Institute for Healthcare 541900 17770 17770 64857 700063 700063 0 0 0 30087 18438 11649 11649 11649 0 0 0 0 4331137 64857 711712 0 0 0 0 863217 517814 228552 116851 0 1824466 1507117 275902 41447 89106 74464 12986 1656 174284 138499 28776 7009 184542 139944 34157 10441 0 25965 3752 22213 59500 59500 0 0 0 0 0 16782 12278 3588 916 32121 24359 5945 1817 0 294931 223656 54589 16686 75578 57313 13989 4276 0 92114 92114 0 0 69641 52811 12890 3940 18852 14296 3489 1067 CONSULTANTS 1299838 1299838 COMMUNICATIONS 451560 451560 DUES AND SUBSCRIPTIONS 105805 95087 10718 Printing and Publications 68405 68405 29646 22481 5487 1678 5776353 4795788 762063 218502 164512 324443 13440652 12552494 3468851 2239871 5193 0 0 0 0 0 91933 106343 807324 635882 235646 171442 2858519 3505436 0 0 0 1189252 978129 21454558 19878158 265119 293929 37357 2500 1428338 1141740 1730814 1438169 X 14072493 14152306 5651251 4287683 19723744 18439989 21454558 19878158 -1445216 161461 X false true X true false X 1530590 9694561 539144 13891692 3554568 29210555 0 0 1530590 9694561 539144 13891692 3554568 29210555 16335293 12875262 188340 90687 105708 244402 711712 1340849 0 0 30551404 1691561 0.42140 0.42640 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED false false 9887 168671 178558 4617230 4795788 389789 97447 false 336754 358808 356804 389789 1442155 2163233 150732 157521 166144 178558 652955 84189 89702 89201 97447 360539 540809 7397 8104 9378 9887 34766 269033 165049 103984 405000 345683 59317 133291 125150 8141 171442 LEASE LIABILITY 1141740 1141740 4492598 161461 161461 4331137 4331137 5776353 5776353 5776353 X true true X X X X false false false false false false false false false DARA LIEBERMAN DIR OF GOVT REL 158551 8652 21457 188660 J Nadine Gracia MD MSCE President & CEO 330888 16500 9393 356781 RHEA FARBERMAN Dir Strategic Comm 213689 11137 27012 251838 Stacy Molander COO 223703 11631 18462 253796 TEKISHA D EVERETTE PhD EXECUTIVE VP 229460 11615 11565 252640 Part I, Line 1a: Relevant information in regards to selections on 1a.
