Commentary on Chronic Disease Prevention in the US in 2022
Journal Title: Annals of Bioethics & Clinical Applications - Year 2022, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
We live in a time when our knowledge and our actions don’t always match up. In this case, the knowledge of the value of preventing disease and disability far surpasses our investment in public education, provider incentives, and public health infrastructure that could support our taking advantage of that knowledge. There is some good news on this front. This year the federal government approved funding for the Preventive Health and Health Services Block Grant and a new program for Public Health Infrastructure.
