In a time of budget cuts, shifting political priorities, and looming audits, standing still is not an option.
The 2025 fiscal year is rapidly coming to a close, and public health departments across the country are navigating a storm of uncertainty. Between reduced federal allocations, the Trump 2.0 policy pivot, and the ongoing recalibration of public health priorities under DOGE, the margin for error is razor-thin.
But with the right partner and plan in place, this period of volatility can become your department’s most strategic opportunity.
Ascendant Healthcare Partners (AHP), a Healthy People 2030 Champion and NACCHO Affiliate, is here to help.

Why You Must Act Now
June 30 marks the end of the fiscal year for most public health entities.
Unused federal and state funds could be at risk of retraction.
Compliance requirements for CHNAs, CHIPs, and Strategic Plans are tightening.
Economic impact justification is now a key audit requirement in many states.
You don’t have time to waste—but you do have time to prepare.

Most counties don’t fail audits because they didn’t try—they fail because they didn’t plan ahead.
