Return on Investment: When Business and Public Health Work Together
We all saw how a virus can turn our lives and economy upside down. We know good public health is good for business.
Setup
The economic impact of wide-scale disease outbreaks, like COVID-19, emphasize the mutual interests of public health and business to create healthy and vibrant communities. The right responses to current and future health threats require effective partnerships. Deep investments in public health and a symbiotic relationship with the private sector make possible both a healthier population and a more robust bottom line. Aligning the sectors is the surest pathway to better health for all, shared prosperity, and a business climate that fosters community-building investments. (Presented by CDC Foundation)
