Each year, the State of Illinois appropriates millions of dollars to the Illinois Department of Public Health for the Local Health Protection Grant. Funds are distributed by formula to all 97 certified local health departments. These funds pay for public health services that most of us take for granted: the investigation of disease outbreaks, inspection of restaurants, inspection of private water wells, and regulation of private sewage disposal systems.
IPHA has created a fact sheet on the Local Health Protection Grant Data for FY'15.
