and eliminates health disparities by providing national leadership in
community health promotion and disease prevention through innovative
programs, such as: Racial and Ethnic Approaches to Community Health Across
the U.S. (REACH U.S.), the Preventive Health and Health Services (PHHS) Block
Grant, State-Based Epidemiology for Public Health Programs (STEPPS), and
YMCA’s Pioneering Healthier Communities. These cross-cutting programs help
expand CDC’s ability to develop community-based health promotion strategies.
