AFPHS 6Cs Training and Implementation Guide

Introduction to the AFPHS 6Cs Training and Implementation Guide

Since 2017, TFAH has been engaged in exploring and promoting public health roles in healthy aging. TFAH envisions a nation in which every state and local health department prioritizes health across the life course, including for those ages 65 and older. Since public health interventions are responsible for longevity, public health should also embrace the opportunity to serve and support older adult health.

TFAH created the Age-Friendly Public Health Systems framework to help guide the public health sector in expanding its roles in healthy aging. Originally a five-tenet framework, the model was expanded to include six components in 2021 to recognize the importance of leadership in the transformation toward becoming an age-friendly system. The framework was developed with input from public health, health care, aging services, academia, and public policy representatives. The current “6Cs” framework is also the foundation for the AFPHS Recognition Program.
