TFAH Age-Friendly Public Health Systems Recognition Program and 6Cs Framework
Trust for America's Health (TFAH) has developed an updated Age-Friendly Public Health Systems (AFPHS) Recognition Program as part of its AFPHS initiative.
Through its AFPHS initiative, TFAH prioritizes the public health roles in healthy aging and encourages all state and local public health departments to make healthy aging a core function. To further incentivize this transition, TFAH developed an AFPHS Recognition Program based on the 6Cs Framework for Creating Age-Friendly Public Health Systems and corresponding actions that, if achieved, will reflect a health department’s commitment to healthy aging. This revised version of the original Recognition Program is designed to honor all levels of engagement by public health professionals in advancing healthy aging.
The new Program offers opportunities for recognition at three levels: AFPHS Champion (individual); AFPHS Recognition (departmental); and AFPHS Advanced (also departmental). TFAH also offers one-on-one technical assistance to further build the capacity of state and local health departments to become age-friendly.
