In years leading up to the pandemic, local public health reported shrinking staffing numbers as decades of disinvestment in our workforce took their toll.
#CALeg protect #PublicHERO in #CABudget to build a workforce pipeline to keep our communities safe!

Every Californian deserves to be served by a fully-staffed, expert public health department. The #CACantWait budget proposal will help to ensure this. @GavinNewsom should sign the $200 million budget item on his desk.

#CALeg passed a #CABudget that includes $200M+ in ongoing investments to rebuild public health. This budget is on @GavinNewsom’s desk amid growing expert consensus & news from coast to coast reporting on deadly mistakes of disinvestment & allowing health inequities to persist:

COVID-19 demonstrated how a decade of disinvestment in local public health left us underprepared to address a crisis of this scale and magnitude. @GavinNewsom, #CACantWait to rebuild our local PH workforce and infrastructure. $200M/annually is what is needed now! #CABudget

New: The budget negotiated by CA Legislature includes MORE THAN $200M requested by @CHEAC @OfficersHealth @seiucalifornia for annual ongoing public health infrastructure funding. Has $200M + money for racial disparities, workforce that @NancySkinnerCA @PhilTing called critical

We estimate that there are more than 500 public health nurse jobs VACANT in local health departments across the state. This hurts everyone. #CACantWait to fund the work of public health.

Thank you, @sydneykamlager

I ❤️ the invsmt for public hospitals but also I think 🧠 “Ongoing $200 million invsmt will not only help heal & restore a public health system left shaken from…covid-19…but is essential in preparing for the crises that are already here, like [STI] epidemic & ones to come.”

Providing health care is not the same as the fundamental disease prevention work of public health.
CHEAC@CHEAC
Public Health 101: Investing in healthcare is important; it’s NOT the same as public health. We prevent disease so less people need the hospital - that’s what chronic disease prevention, STD services, disease investigation are all about. @DrPanMd breaks it down. @GavinNewsom
