What Does PHIG Do
The Public Health Infrastructure Grant (PHIG) is an investment made by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that supports critical public health infrastructure needs of health departments across the United States. PHIG focuses on increasing our public health workforce through innovative collaborations and building up infrastructure to support public health staff. This is important work because a healthy and stable workforce ensures we can respond quickly to community needs and emergencies.
Multnomah County Health Departments PHIG program focuses on Workforce Stabilization and Restoration and Public Health Foundational Capabilities which includes our goal of public health accreditation. PHIG work is grounded in three key principles: data and evidence drive planning and implementation; partnerships play a critical role in grant program success; resources are directed in a way that supports diversity and health equity. A key component for accreditation is the Community Health Improvement Plan.
