PUBLIC HEALTH TASK FORCE 2004: PRELIMINARY RECOMMENDATIONS <br />PUBLIC HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PLAN <br />16c) Seek private funding for the enhancement of public <br />health services from private foundations, trusts, <br />and business partners. <br />Need Addressed /Rationale <br />Public health at the local and state level cannot exist and accomplish its goals in a vacuum. The future <br />success of improving the health and well being of our citizens will only be accomplished through <br />partnerships built between local and state government, private non -profit organizations, hospitals, <br />community based organizations, the faith based community and the public. The local and state public <br />health community must reach out and partner in new and creative ways with our traditional health care <br />providers as well as other organizations. Resources exist in these segments of the private sector that <br />could be tapped if the need and the benefit are clearly articulated and ownership of the solution for the <br />future public health condition is appropriately shared (public and private). <br />Infrastructure /Capacity Improvement <br />Appropriate non - governmental trusts and foundations must be developed to enable private industry and <br />community partners to contribute to benefit public health while retaining appropriate fiscal and policy <br />control of the uses and expected outcomes of these contributions. <br />Budget <br />Minimal expense involved if any. <br />FTEs <br />(0) State <br />(0) Local <br />35 <br />
