The Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response (ASPR) recently released the 2023-2026 National Health Security Strategy (NHSS). Every four years ASPR develops the NHSS to establish a strategic approach to enhance the security of the nation’s health in times of crisis.

The 2023-2026 iteration includes an enhanced focus on several health care and public health challenges exacerbated during COVID-19 and other public health emergencies, including supply chain resiliency, health care and public health workforce capacity, risk communication, and health equity. Health Security requires a collaborative effort between all levels of government, especially local public health.

Priority health security threats and challenges discussed in the 2023-2026 NHSS include emerging infections diseases; climate change; chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) threats and biotechnology; cyberattacks; and unknown threats and concurrent public health emergencies and disasters.

Learn more about the 2023-2026 NHSS.

Opportunity: Learn more about the 2023-2026 NHSS at the Preparedness Summit. An interactive session on Monday, April 24, will provide attendees a forum to share health security priorities and promising practices, discuss how federal partners can better support jurisdictions, and establish touch points for future collaboration.
