Chronic Disease

COVID-19 shed light on just how chronic diseases leave Texans more vulnerable to poor health outcomes and death. Keeping Texans healthy wherever they live, learn, work, and play can prevent chronic disease and save lives. TPHC supports the efforts of Partnership for a Healthy Texas to prevent chronic disease and obesity in Texas.

Public Health budget & InfrasTRUCTURE

Texas' low spending on public health shows in our health outcomes. When we fail to invest in public health, Texans pay the price. Texas' economy, way of life, and well-being depends on the strength of our public health infrastructure.
