Take the time to contact your legislators to urge them to fund the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) for grants to certified local health departments via the Local Health Protection Grant (LHPG) at $30.1 million for FY2025.
IPHA and our partners are advocating for the appropriation of $25 million to support capital projects in local health departments (LHDs) across the state. This funding would address critical infrastructure needs, ensuring that LHDs can continue to provide essential public health services to communities in Illinois.
