What is the Healthy States Initiative?
The Council of State Governments created the Healthy States Initiative in partnership with the National Black Caucus of State Legislators (NBCSL) and the National Hispanic Caucus of State Legislators (NHCSL) to keep state officials up-to-date on public health policy issues. In addition to information such as new publications for policymakers and links to new health reports, the initiative hosts various meetings around the country to bring experts in healthy policy and state policymakers together.
Initial funding for CSG's Healthy States Initiative was provided by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), under cooperative agreement U38/CCU424348, and continues through award 1H25PS001138.
