Fully restore Nebraska's public health funding.
Nebraska Local Public Health Departments provide essential services in our communities—but a proposed $4.5M budget cut threatens ongoing access to critical programs like oral health screenings, chronic disease prevention, maternal and child health, and emergency response.
Cutting 37% of state public health funding means fewer health screenings, wellness programs, and emergency response efforts – especially in rural communities. Nebraskans can’t afford to lose access to public health services.
Public health funding is a cost-saving investment. Cutting funding now means higher healthcare costs later.
