Common Health Coalition Offers Commitments To Support Public Health

The Common Health Coalition, founded by U.S. health organizations including AHIP, the Alliance of Community Health Plans, the American Hospital Association, the American Medical Association, and Kaiser Permanente, set forth new commitments to support public health. With these commitments, the coalition is advancing concrete, achievable actions that are replicable through partnerships with public health systems across the country.

The commitments pertain to coordination between health care and public health, "always-on" emergency preparedness, real-time disease detection, and the exchange of actionable data, particularly data to advance equity. The goal is to enhance readiness to address public health emergencies . . .
