The Mississippi Public Health Trust Fund provides dedicated funding that helps the Mississippi State Department of Health respond to emerging health threats, strengthen local communities, and protect families across the state.
The Trust Fund is supported through state appropriations, donations, and a portion of medical cannabis tax revenue. Those dollars are reinvested into public health programs that improve the lives of Mississippians every day.
The Trust Fund helps support:
- Local health departments and clinics that provide essential services close to home.
- Disease prevention, outbreak response, and emergency preparedness to keep communities safe.
- Health programs that protect mothers, babies, children, and vulnerable populations.
- Public health laboratories, inspections, and safety programs that help ensure clean water, safe food, and healthier environments.
Managed by the Mississippi State Department of Health under the oversight of the Mississippi State Board of Health, the Trust Fund ensures that resources are available where they are needed most. By investing in prevention and preparedness today, the Trust Fund helps build a healthier, safer Mississippi for generations to come.
The Public Health Trust Fund is an investment in the health and well-being of every Mississippian.
