Abstract:
Big Cities Health Coalition member health departments (BCHC HDs) serve more than 60 million people across 35 jurisdictions nearly 20% of the US population. This brief focuses on BCHC HDs that participated in the 2024 Public Health Workforce Interests and Needs Survey (PH WINS), highlighting key workforce indicators during a period of historic investments in public health infrastructure. Results for BCHC HDs from the 2024 PH WINS survey show a positive change in recruitment and retention and strong job satisfaction. These changes correspond with historic financial investments, particularly through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Public Health Infrastructure Grant (PHIG), suggesting that this substantial investment has played a role in the gains observed among the BCHC HD workforce.
