Metro Atlanta health departments grapple with loss of federal funds

^{Published on 2025-03-27 17:43:32 - Healthbeat}

Cobb and Douglas Public Health Department director Dr. Janet Memark said the agency would lose nearly $500,000 from federal cuts announced this week. The funds were initially distributed to help local and state health departments throughout the country manage the Covid-19 pandemic and have since shifted to support a variety of public health initiatives,

The article from MSN discusses the challenges faced by metro Atlanta's health departments due to the impending loss of federal funding. Originally, these funds were allocated to combat the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, but with the emergency declarations ending, the financial support is set to decrease significantly. This reduction comes at a time when the need for public health services remains high, with ongoing issues like mental health, substance abuse, and chronic diseases. The article highlights that the Fulton County Board of Health, for instance, is bracing for a $10 million cut, which could lead to staff layoffs and reduced services. Health officials are now seeking alternative funding sources and are advocating for state and local governments to step in to fill the gap left by the federal funds. The situation underscores a broader concern about the sustainability of public health infrastructure post-COVID.
