Dear Chairs DeLauro and Murray and Ranking Members Cole and Blunt:
"As Congress works to draft the Labor, Health and Human Services, Education and Related Agencies (Labor-HHS) appropriations legislation for FY 2022, the 206 undersigned organizations request that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP) be properly funded at $153 million for its Social Determinants of Health program – in line with President Biden’s FY 2022 request. We sincerely thank Labor-HHS for funding the program for the first time in FY 2021 at $3 million. The undersigned organizations ask Labor-HHS to build upon that initial investment to ensure that public health departments, academic institutions, and nonprofit organizations are properly supported to address the social determinants of health in their communities."
