These investments included $116.5 million<\/strong> in funding for eligible county, municipal, and regional local health departments. Commissioner Persichilli continued, “The COVID-19 epidemic highlighted severe issues facing our public health system, which we must continue to solve on behalf of people.<\/p>\n
