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 2023, the 80 undersigned organizations request that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP) be funded at $153 million for its Social Determinants of Health program – in line with President Biden’s FY 2023 request. We sincerely thank Labor-HHS for providing an increase for the program in FY 2022 for a total of $8 million. The undersigned organizations ask Labor-HHS to build upon this promising 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."
