Thank Senators for Protecting Public Health

United States Senators took a big step to protect public health this week by defeating an amendment that would have cut billions of dollars in critical disease prevention and public health funding.

Please take a moment today to send a quick note of thanks to your Senator(s) by following this link :Thank Your Legislators for Protecting Public Health Funding

Because of their action, the Prevention and Public Health Fund will continue to be used for meaningful public health efforts in communities like yours across the country. The Fund supports efforts to increase tobacco control, implement tobacco cessation services, combat obesity, and promote better nutrition and physical activity.

Prevention is a key factor in our fight against heart disease and stroke, and we are grateful to those Senators who stood up to protect this essential funding.

Thank you for your help!
