Trust for America’s Health created Promoting Health and Cost Control in States (PHACCS), an initiative that pinpoints the most promising evidence-based policies to provide state leaders with policy recommendations to best promote healthy lifestyles and control costs. The PHACCS initiative identifies policies for good health that look beyond healthcare, part of a larger effort to foster cross-sector collaboration, because changes to any given policy area can impact the population’s well-being and states’ ability to control costs. Additionally, PHACCS recognizes the value of state- and local-level collaboration and includes considerations for those relationships so that policy can be implemented successfully.
