SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March
23, 2010, the President signed into law
the Patient Protection and Affordable
Care Act (PPACA). PPACA is designed
to improve and expand the scope of
health care coverage for Americans. Cost
savings through disease prevention is an
important element of this legislation
and PPACA has established a
Prevention and Public Health Fund
(PPHF) for this purpose. Specifically,
the legislation states in Section 4002
that the PPHF is to ‘‘provide for
expanded and sustained national
investment in prevention and public
health programs to improve health and
help restrain the rate of growth in
private and public sector health care
costs’’. PPACA and the Prevention and
Public Health Fund make improving
public health a priority with
investments to improve public health.

The PPHF states that the Secretary
shall transfer amounts in the Fund to
accounts within the Department of
Health and Human Services to increase
funding, over the fiscal year 2008 level,
for programs authorized by the public
Health Services Act, for prevention,
wellness and public health activities
including prevention research and
health screenings, such as the
Community Transformation Grant
Program, the Education and Outreach
Campaign for Preventative Benefits, and
Immunization Programs.
REACH CORE and PPACA legislation
affords an important opportunity to
advance public health across the
lifespan and to reduce health disparities
by supporting an intensive community
approach to chronic disease prevention
and control. Therefore, awarding
cooperative agreements with PPACA
funds under PPHF to existing grantees
to carry out REACH objectives is
consistent with the purpose of PPHF, as
stated above, to provide for the
expanded and sustained national
investment in prevention and public
health programs. Further, the Secretary
allocated funds to CDC, pursuant to the
PPHF, for the types of activities that the
REACH initiatives are designed to carry
out.
Therefore, the REACH program
activities CDC proposes to fund with
PPACA appropriations are authorized
by the amendment to the Public Health
Services Act which authorized the
Prevention and Wellness Program as
embodied in CDC–RFA–DP10–1014.
