The Affordable Care Act's Prevention and Public Health Fund in California

The Prevention and Public Health Fund offers an unprecedented investment in promoting wellness, preventing disease, and protecting against public health emergencies.  Much of this work is done in partnership with States and communities.  The Affordable Care Act, the health care law of 2010, makes this funding possible.  

States and communities are using Prevention Fund dollars to:

• Increase public health programs’ effectiveness and efficiency
• Train the nation's public health workforce
• Fight health disparities
