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.
The Illinois Public Health Association (IPHA) welcomed the increases in state funding for certified local health departments in the Illinois Department of Public Health’s FY2024 budget that was passed by the General Assembly on May 27, and which will be sent to Governor Pritzker for signature.
