To help professionals in the field of public health see how they can use their expertise to support healthy aging, Trust for America’s Health developed a brief – How the 10 Essential Public Health Services Align with the AFPHS 6Cs Framework for Supporting Healthy Aging. Aligning the AFPHS 6Cs Framework with the 10 Essential Services of Public Health, a widely established rubric for building successful public health infrastructure, provides public health practitioners with a roadmap for designing strategies to improve and support older adult health and well-being.
The June AFPHS training focuses on this brief by providing an overview of the alignment between the two frameworks, including common language and a shared focus on equity, with examples of policies and healthy aging strategies.
The presenters for this training are:
- Dr. Breanca Merritt, Director of Policy, Trust for America’s Health
- Megan Wolfe, Senior Policy Development Manager, Trust for America’s Health
