• Description:
  The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (ACA, Public Law 111-148) elevates disease prevention to the level of a national priority and provides unprecedented opportunities for health promotion and disease prevention. The ACA established the National Prevention, Health Promotion, and Public Health Council, which has aligned more than a dozen federal agencies to develop a prevention and health promotion strategy for the country, and it created the Prevention and Public Health Fund (PPHF) to support a variety of public health initiatives, including evidence- and practice-based community and clinical prevention and wellness strategies. Furthermore, the ACA requires new health plans to cover recommended preventive services at no charge. In addition, it encourages the adoption of worksite health programs as a vehicle for improving the health of the employed population through programs such as the National Healthy Worksite Program, which is funded through the PPHF.
