Visit Health: How Vaibhav Singh disrupted healthcare in India

Written by: vikram sharma.

(February 13, 2023) One day in the summer of 2016, when Vaibhav Singh and his three pals walked in to the New Delhi office of marquee tech company MapmyIndia to seek guidance from its owner Rakesh Verma, for their healthcare startup, the final semester students from BITS Pilani left a lasting impression on Verma. A BITS-Pilani alumnus himself, Verma was moved by the youngsters’ zeal to bring about a change in the country’s healthcare systems.

Less than 24 hours later, Vaibhav’s phone rang. The caller was Verma, who offered to fund their healthcare startup. Pleasantly surprised, the four friends got down to work. That was the birth of Visit Health — a holistic healthcare service platform that provides quality healthcare experience anytime, anywhere.

Vaibhav SIngh, co-founder, Visit Health

Holistic healthcare

“The wide gap in wellness and primary health care in India is what led us to start Visit Health. Today, we stand as a full-pledged primary health care service provider and have filled that gap,” smiles Vaibhav Singh, managing director and co-founder of Visit Health, in an exclusive conversation with Global Indian .

From wellness to diet plans, management, nutritionists, dermatologists, general physicians and psychologists — the fully-integrated 360-degree healthcare platform, now has the best fleet of medical experts across the country.

“We have more than a 2000 plus specialists across 20 plus verticals. We built our own network of 36,000 plus doctors who are sitting in the OPD department of hospitals or at the private clinics,” informs Vaibhav, who was named in Forbes 30 under 30, Asia, in the field of Healthcare & Science.

Born in Patna, Vaibhav wanted to become an IAS officer. “There were quite a few people in my family who were bureaucrats. So that was the passion back then,” informs Vaibhav, who completed his schooling from DAV Public School. He was strong in academics and was a die-hard cricket fan who spent hours each day playing the game.

Transformation on campus

After completing his 12 th grade, he got into BITS Pilani from where he did his Master of Science (Hons) Chemistry and Bachelor in Pharmacy between 2021 and 2016. He describes it as the transformational period.

“BITS Pilani was very different from the traditional colleges. It had a flexible curriculum, and you choose your own timetable. It had everything for the overall personality development and there was a strong entrepreneurial environment in the campus,” says Vaibhav, pointing to the large number of startups coming from BITS.

The prestigious institution also has a strong alumni connect. “You will come across BITS alumni in almost every field, who will be ready to pull you up and give you guidance,” says Vaibhav, who also stood for students union elections in his second year and was elected general secretary.

Since all the activities in the college were student-run, it enabled him to have interactions with people both on and off the campus. “I was involved in raising sponsorships, inviting colleges from different cities, give presentations among other work. All these experiences played a big role in my career,” says the passionate billiards player, who was also the captain of the Pool team in college.

Foray into entrepreneurship

When he began his fourth year, he and his friends decided it was time to get down to some serious business. “We started selling ERP (enterprise resource planning) solutions to Ministry of Defence. People would charge crores for it but we offered the solutions for a few lakhs,” says Vaibhav, who also interned for two months as a Product Manager at Biocon in Bengaluru. During this stint, he visited seven metro cities in India to study the market before the launch of a new product. He also assisted the business development team in deciding the key parameters of the product.

Finally, in 2016, Visit Health happened. “There were lots of challenges. Primary healthcare was not very well known when we were first setting up. There was only one other company doing it,” recalls Vaibhav. However, he teamed up with three close friends – Anurag Prasad, Shashvat Tripathi and Chetan Anand, who combined their expertise and launched the company.

“We initially started with mental health support. So we built a Visit app where you could come and talk to a psychologist or a counsellor in complete privacy and at convenient times,” says Vaibhav who was awarded as the “Youth of the year” in the field of healthcare services by the Bihar government in November 2016.

Disrupting the healthcare space

He says the chief responsibility at Visit Health is helping users make important decisions about their own health and well-being as well as that of their loved one’s health. “Finding the best doctors and organisations to collaborate with is our second responsibility which is tied-in with the first,” says Vaibhav, who feels that the inconvenience of travelling and the hassles of meeting up with a doctor often ends in people self-medicating. “People tend to postpone their visits to the doctors for one or the other reason until it becomes absolutely necessary.”

Their clients include 260-plus large, medium and large corporates including IBM, Axis Bank and Oracle who have deployed Visit app for giving primary healthcare benefits to their employees. “We also have more than 6000 plus SMEs who use the app. Anything you do on the platform, you get rewarded for that and redeem those rewards for multiple day to day products of your choice from our marketplace. So that creates a lot of engagement,” he points out.

What started with four people is now a 220 plus member team based out of Gurugram, Noida, Bangalore and Mumbai.

Hope during the pandemic

They saw the full potential of their company during the pandemic, when people began to take their health a lot more seriously. “During covid, we were doing more than 240 consults every day. We deployed hotline numbers for the ones who were not able to use the app,” says Vaibhav.

Along the journey, Visit Health went on to raise more investments from some of the reputed companies including Snapdeal, Murugappa group and Policy Bazar. Even the Co-founder of Twitter Biz Stone invested in the company.

When he’s not working, Vaibhav likes to travel, play pool and watch “raw and real series” like Blacklist .

HHS Awards Nearly $55 Million to Increase Virtual Health Care Access and Quality Through Community Health Centers

Awards will enhance telehealth, digital patient tools, and health information technology to support underserved communities.

Today, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), through the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), awarded nearly $55 million to 29 HRSA-funded health centers to increase health care access and quality for underserved populations through virtual care such as telehealth, remote patient monitoring, digital patient tools, and health information technology platforms. This funding builds on over $7.3 billion in American Rescue Plan funding invested in community health centers over the past year to help mitigate the impact of COVID-19.

“Virtual care has been a game-changer for patients, especially during the pandemic,” said HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra. “This funding will help health centers leverage the latest technology and innovations to expand access to quality primary care for underserved communities. Today’s announcement reflects the Biden-Harris Administration’s commitment to advancing health equity and putting essential health care within reach for all Americans.”

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, health centers have quickly expanded their use of virtual care to maintain access to essential primary care services. They reported significant growth in the number of virtual visits from 478,333 in 2019 to 28,550,608 in 2020, a remarkable 6,000 percent increase. In total, the number of health centers offering virtual visits grew from 592 in 2019 to 1,362 in 2022, an increase of 130 percent. These new awards will enable health centers to sustain an expanded level of virtual care and identify and implement new digital strategies. “Today’s awards will help ensure that new ways to deliver primary care are reaching the communities that need it most,” said HRSA Administrator Carole Johnson. “Our funding will help health centers continue to expand their virtual work while maintaining their vital in-person services in communities across the country.”

The more than 1,400 HRSA-supported health centers in this country serve as a national source of primary care for our at-risk communities. They are community-based and patient-directed organizations that deliver affordable, accessible, and high-quality medical, dental, and behavioral health services to nearly 29 million patients each year. As of late January, overall health centers have delivered over 19.2 million vaccine doses, with 68 percent going to racial or ethnic minority patients. More than 90 percent of health center patients are individuals or families living at or below 200 percent of the Federal Poverty Guidelines (about $55,000 per year for a family of four in most states) and approximately 62 percent are racial/ethnic minorities.

New Delhi: Healthtech start-up Visit Health is looking to raise around $10 million in a Series-A funding to finance its expansion, including increasing number of its empanelled doctors, hospitals, pharmacies and pathological labs, according to a top company official.

The company, an artificial intelligence-based healthtech app platform offering preventive and curative, primary healthcare solutions, has already raised a total funding of $1.4 million and is backed by investors, including MapmyIndia, Snapdeal co-founders Kunal Bahl and Rohit Bansal, and Hetero Drugs Director Murali Krishna.

Visit Health Pvt Ltd co-founder and Head of Product Anurag Prasad said the company also plans to expand its offering by launching innovative insurance products and geographical footprint across India.

“We are looking towards raising Series A funding of around $10 million and this will be deployed in expanding reach by increasing our distribution network,” Prasad told PTI.

Elaborating on the company’s future plans, he said, “We are looking to aggressively enhance delivery by expanding the network of empanelled doctors, hospitals, pharmacies and pathological labs and reach by appointing new distributors network, partnering with top digital platforms.”

The company is also planning to include therapies and psychological counselling in its offering.

He said the company has around half a million users currently, which include both corporate and retail users.

Visit Health offers OPD insurance policy for retail users through a tie-up with Apollo Munich Insurance covering “unlimited online and offline doctor consultations and diagnostics, all insured throughout the year for a fixed premium”, he said adding the company earns a part of the premium for its online consultations portfolio and servicing the clients.

Recent Trends in Community Health Center Patients, Services, and Financing

Akash Pillai , Bradley Corallo , and Jennifer Tolbert Published: Apr 19, 2024

Key Takeaways

Community health centers are a national network of over 1,300 safety-net primary care providers, serving more than 30 million patients in 2022. They are located in medically underserved urban and rural communities and serve all patients regardless of their ability to pay. Health centers also played a major role in the nation’s response to the coronavirus pandemic, particularly for hard-to-reach populations. This brief analyzes the changes in health center patients, services, and financing from 2019 (pre-pandemic) through 2022 using the Uniform Data System (UDS), to which all health centers are required to report annually . Key takeaways include the following:

The health center patient population has returned to pre-pandemic levels after dipping during the first year of COVID and is up slightly from 29.8 million patients in 2019 to 30.5 million in 2022 (2%). But the number of children served by health centers decreased somewhat from 9.2 million to 8.8 million (4%) during the same period, with the greatest decline among children ages 0-5. There is evidence indicating that utilization of primary and preventive services among children on Medicaid remains below pre-pandemic levels, which may partially explain the drop in pediatric patients at health centers.
Health centers disproportionately served communities of color and low-income people—63% of patients were people of color and over 90% had income that was at or below 200% of the federal poverty level in 2022.
More people were returning to in-person care since the start of the pandemic, with over 105 million health center patient visits conducted in-person in 2022 as compared to 85.7 million in 2020, but telehealth was still utilized in 17% of all visits in 2022.
From 2019 to 2022, the number of visits for mental health and substance use disorder services increased 21%, with large increases in number of patients diagnosed with anxiety disorders (26% increase) and attention deficit disorders (21% increase). The number of patients receiving medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for opioid use disorder increased 36% from 2019 to 2022.
From 2019 to 2022, the share of health center patients who are uninsured dropped from 23% to 19%, while the share of patients covered by Medicaid increased from 49% to 51%, likely due to the Medicaid continuous enrollment provision that was in place from March 2020 through March 2023.
Medicaid was the largest revenue source for health centers, providing 42% of all revenue in 2022 while federal grant funding comprised 12% of total funding. Health center revenues increased by over $11 billion since 2019, primarily due to growth in Medicaid funding related to the increase in Medicaid patients and COVID-related funding.

The unwinding of the Medicaid continuous enrollment provision will likely impact health center patients, services, and financing starting in 2023 as people who are disenrolled from Medicaid enroll in other coverage or become uninsured. KFF tracking indicates that more than 20 million people have been disenrolled from Medicaid since the start of the unwinding. Early research conducted using health center claims data found that 17% of patients who were covered by Medicaid prior to the start of unwinding were uninsured when they sought care at a health center during the first six months of unwinding. Among those with the highest Medicaid disenrollment rates were patients with HIV/AIDS, mental health conditions, or SUDs. While Congress recently reauthorized increased federal grant funding for health centers through 2024, the increase may not fully offset any drop in Medicaid revenue during the unwinding. The expiration of pandemic-related funding could further stress health center finances.

Health Center Patients

The number of patients served by served by health centers increased in 2022, although the number of child patients has not fully rebounded to pre-pandemic levels. Following temporary site closures and social distancing guidance at the start of the coronavirus pandemic in 2020, the number of patients dipped, but in 2021, the number of patients began increasing again and that trend continued in 2022. Health centers served 30.5 million patients in 2022, an increase of 2% from 2019 (Figure 1). Although the number of adult patients increased, the number of child patients decreased by 4% and remains below the number of children served in 2019.

Health centers served fewer children ages five and under in 2022 compared to 2019, driving the overall drop in pediatric patients. From 2019 to 2022, the number of children 0-5 visiting health centers decreased 14% from 3.2 million to 2.7 million (Figure 1). The largest decline in the 0-5 age range was among children under age 1, which declined from 688,000 patients in 2019 to 471,000 in 2022 (a 32% drop). There was a smaller decrease in the number of patients ages 6-11 (3%), while children ages 12 and over saw a 5% increase over pre-pandemic patient numbers.

Most health center patients were people of color, and the vast majority were low-income. In 2022, people of color represented 63% of health center patients and Hispanic patients comprised the largest share of patients at 39% (Figure 3). Health centers also served many patients with limited English proficiency, with roughly one in four patients (26%) who were best served in a language other than English. Reflecting their role as safety-net providers, nine in ten health center patients had incomes that were at or below 200% of the federal poverty level (FPL) and two-thirds (66%) had incomes at or below 100% FPL in 2022 (Figure 3).

Health Center Services

Even as health center patients returned to in-person care in 2022, reliance on telehealth continued. Health centers provided a total of 126.9 million visits in 2022, including 21 million telehealth visits (Figure 4). Telehealth visits represented 17% of total visits, a substantially larger share than the 2019 baseline of less than 1%, but down from the high of 25% during the height of the pandemic in 2020. While in-person visits increased relative to 2020, they remained below pre-pandemic levels.

Mental health, substance use disorder (SUD), and medical services drove growth in health center visits from 2019 to 2022, while visits for dental and vision services remained below pre-pandemic levels. Overall, health center visits were 3% higher in 2022 compared to 2019. Visits for mental health and SUD services increased by 21%, with more modest growth in enabling services (9%) and medical services (4%) (Figure 5). Services that were largely provided in person, namely vision and dental, declined by 3% and 17%, respectively, over the same period.

Consistent with the increase in mental health and SUD visits, the number of health center patients diagnosed with certain mental health and SUD disorders increased in 2022. Compared to 2019, there was a notable increase in the number of patients experiencing anxiety disorders (26%) and attention deficit and behavior disorders (21%) in 2022 (Figure 6). In addition, the number of patients receiving medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for opioid use disorder increased 36% from 2019.

Health Center Revenue Sources

The share of health center patients who were uninsured continued to decline while the share enrolled in Medicaid surpassed 50%. From 2019 to 2022, the share of uninsured patients dropped four percentage points from 23% to 19% while the share of Medicaid patients increased from 49% to 51%, further solidifying Medicaid as the largest source of coverage for patients (Figure 7). Both of these changes are largely attributable to the Medicaid continuous enrollment provision , which temporarily halted Medicaid disenrollments from March 2020 through March 2023. After March 2023, states resumed disenrollments as part of the Medicaid unwinding .

Medicaid continued to be the largest source of health center revenue, though federal grants and COVID-related funding were also significant revenue sources in 2022. Medicaid accounted for 42% of health center revenue in 2022 while federal Section 330 grant funding, which supports health centers role as safety net providers, made up 12% of revenues at health centers nationally (Figure 8). Additionally, pandemic-related funding made up 8% of all health centers’ revenue in 2022 although this funding has since expired. Health center revenues increased by over $11 billion since 2019, primarily due to growth in Medicaid funding related to the increase in Medicaid patients and COVID-related funding.

In 2019, MacKenzie Scott announced that she was stepping into the world of philanthropy to give away her multi-billion-dollar fortune “until the safe is empty”. She has kept her word—to date, she has given away $16.5 billion. Her initial process for choosing which organizations would receive grants was shrouded in mystery. From 2019 to 2023, Scott used a process she termed “quiet research” to identify possible grantee organizations. The lucky organizations received a call from Scott’s consultants, who let them know they were receiving a grant for immediate use however they would like to spend it. In the Fall of 2022, Grantmakers In Health (GIH) became one of those grantee organizations, along with more than 20 health foundations. Two additional GIH Funding Partner organizations received gifts in 2020 and 2021, respectively.

Therefore, GIH recently conducted a survey to learn about funders’ strategies related to their health workforce investments.

The Story of Care: A Snapshot of the Care Narrative Change Landscape

At some point, every one of us will need care or need to provide care. The COVID-19 pandemic put a spotlight on the extraordinary contributions of caregivers and exposed the failings caused by our nation’s lack of care policies, especially for communities of color. Deploying narrative-change strategies across care-related issues will help create the conditions for cultural and policy progress. The goal of this report is to share with funders the promising narrative-change strategies and tactics that have been identified, a directory of funders and grantees who are supporting this work, and how philanthropy can best support this effort.

Grant Overview

The Public Health Infrastructure Grant (PHIG) is a groundbreaking investment that supports critical public health infrastructure needs of health departments across the United States. Funding from this grant will help ensure that every U.S. community has the people, services, and systems needed to promote and protect health. The grant creates a foundation for CDC’s public health infrastructure work and provides maximum flexibility so recipients can address their most pressing needs.

As of January 2024, CDC awarded $4.35 billion through the OE22-2203: Strengthening U.S. Public Health Infrastructure, Workforce, and Data Systems grant to help U.S. health departments promote and protect health in their communities. This included $4.01 billion for health departments ($3.685 billion in FY23 and $325 million in FY24) and $340 million for three national public health partners ($155 million in FY23 and $185 million in FY24). CDC expects to award more than $5 billion over the 5-year grant period to create a stronger, more resilient public health system that is ready to face future health threats.

Strategies and Outcomes

The three strategies of this grant are Workforce, Foundational Capabilities, and Data Modernization. Recipients are expected to achieve several key outcomes by the end of the 5-year period of performance. Ultimately, this grant will lead to accelerated prevention, preparedness, and response to emerging health threats, and improved outcomes for other public health areas.

All work done as part of this grant is grounded in three key principles:

Data and evidence drive planning and implementation.
Partnerships play a critical role in grant program success.
Resources are directed in a way that supports diversity and health equity .

Press Releases

DHS Announces $1.8 Billion in Preparedness Grants

WASHINGTON— Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro N. Mayorkas today announced more than $1.8 billion in funding for eight Fiscal Year 2024 preparedness grant programs. These grant programs provide critical funding to help state, local, tribal, and territorial officials prepare for, prevent, protect against, and respond to acts of terrorism and disasters.

“As threats continue to evolve, the Department of Homeland Security is committed to providing state, local, tribal and territorial governments, as well as transportation authorities and nonprofit organizations, with vital resources to help them strengthen our nation’s security and preparedness,” said Secretary Mayorkas. “This funding is essential for frontline personnel, including emergency managers, firefighters, emergency medical services, law enforcement and other first responders. The grants will play a critical role in ensuring local communities across the country have the resources and capabilities to prevent threats to the homeland.”

After extensive consultation with grantees leading up to this announcement, DHS is focused on the need to invest in high priority areas, build capacity in other communities, and give jurisdictions the flexibility to make prioritization decisions based on their own assessment of their needs. For Fiscal Year (FY) 2024, Congress cut each of the preparedness grants by 10%, which resulted in commensurate cuts to each jurisdiction.

The law requires that at least 25% of the combined funds for the State Homeland Security Program (SHSP) and the Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI) be dedicated to Law Enforcement Terrorism Prevention Activities (LETPA). This year, we are maintaining the LETPA minimum requirement of 35%. The Department’s law enforcement subject matter experts engaged with FEMA experts to review and clarify policy and program decisions to ensure that law enforcement and terrorism-focused grant funds are appropriately used for terrorism prevention activities, thereby strengthening our national preparedness posture.

This year, we will provide $274.5 Million in Nonprofit Security Grant Program funds to houses of worship, schools, and other nonprofits to support target hardening and other physical security enhancements for nonprofit organizations that are at high risk of a terrorist attack. The program will continue to help integrate nonprofit preparedness activities with broader state and local preparedness efforts. It will also promote collaboration in emergency preparedness activities among public and private community representatives, as well as state and local government agencies.

The FY 2024 grant guidance will continue to focus on the nation’s highest risk areas, including urban areas that face the most significant threats. The Urban Area Security Initiative enhances regional preparedness by helping build and sustain capabilities responsive to the evolving threat environment. This year, the Urban Area Security Initiative will fund 41 high-threat, high-density urban areas, including an urban area that has not previously received funding.

DHS continues to emphasize six national priority areas in the FY 2024 grant cycle: cybersecurity; soft targets and crowded places; intelligence and information sharing; domestic violent extremism; community preparedness and resilience; and election security. Grant recipients under the State Homeland Security Program and Urban Area Security Initiative will be required to dedicate a minimum of 30% of their awards across these six priority areas. Of the 30%, there is a 3% minimum spend on election security, with flexibility on how to spend the remaining 27% across the six priority areas.

As with previous years, new capabilities that are built using homeland security grant funding must be deployable if needed to support regional and national efforts. All capabilities being built or sustained must have a clear linkage to the core capabilities articulated in the National Preparedness Goal . 

FY 2024 Preparedness Grant Summary

Preparedness grant program allocations for fiscal year 2024, the following grants are non-competitive and awarded to recipients based on several factors: .

Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP): State Homeland Security Program —provides $373.5 million to support the implementation of risk-driven, capabilities-based state homeland security strategies to address capability targets. Awards are based on statutory minimums and relative risk as determined by DHS/FEMA’s risk methodology. 

HSGP: Urban Area Security Initiative —provides $553.5 million to enhance regional preparedness and capabilities in 41 high-threat, high-density areas. Awards are based on relative risk as determined by DHS/FEMA’s risk methodology. 

For both the state homeland and urban area grants, 30% of the awards must address the six priority areas of cybersecurity; soft target and crowded places; information and intelligence sharing; domestic violent extremism; community preparedness and resilience; and election security. Additionally, 35% of these grants must be dedicated to law enforcement terrorism prevention activities, and 80% of these grants must be obligated from the state to local or tribal governments within 45 calendar days of receipt.   

Intercity Passenger Rail —provides $9 million to Amtrak to protect critical surface transportation infrastructure and the traveling public from acts of terrorism and increase the resilience of the Amtrak rail system. Award made per congressional direction. 

Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) Program –provides $319.55 million to assist state, local, tribal and territorial emergency management agencies in obtaining the resources required to support the National Preparedness Goal’s associated mission areas and core capabilities to build a culture of preparedness. Awards are based on statutory minimums and population. 

The following grants are competitive, and exact awards will be announced later this year:  

HSGP: Operation Stonegarden —provides $81 million to enhance cooperation and coordination among state, local, tribal, territorial, and federal law enforcement agencies to jointly enhance security along the United States land and water borders. 

Tribal Homeland Security Grant Program —provides $13.5 million to eligible tribal nations to implement preparedness initiatives to help strengthen the nation against risk associated with potential terrorist attacks and other hazards. 

Nonprofit Security Grant Program —provides $274.5 million to support target hardening and other physical security enhancements for nonprofit organizations that are at high risk of a terrorist attack. This year, $137.25 million is provided to nonprofits in UASI-designated urban areas, and $137.25 million is provided to nonprofits outside of UASI-designated urban areas located in any state or territory. 

Port Security Grant Program —provides $90 million to help protect critical port infrastructure from terrorism, enhance maritime domain awareness, improve port-wide maritime security risk management, and maintain or re-establish maritime security mitigation protocols that support port recovery and resiliency capabilities. 

Transit Security Grant Program —provides $83.7 million to owners and operators of public transit systems to protect critical surface transportation and the traveling public from acts of terrorism and to increase the resilience of transit infrastructure.  

Intercity Bus Security Grant Program —provides $1.8 million to owners and operators of intercity bus systems to protect surface transportation infrastructure and the traveling public from acts of terrorism and to increase the resilience of transit infrastructure.  

Before determining modifications and final allocations to the grant programs, DHS coordinated extensive engagements with local and state partners, and worked with a wide range of stakeholders.  

All preparedness funding notices can be found at www.grants.gov . Final submissions must be made through the FEMA Grants Outcomes (FEMA GO) system .

Expanding Access to Supportive Services for Care to Build the Workforce We Need

Acting Secretary Julie Su holding a microphone in front of a backdrop that says Good Care Jobs and Care Can't Wait Action

This April, the White House is commemorating Care Workers Recognition Month and the one-year anniversary of President Biden signing the Executive Order on Increasing Access to High-Quality Care and Supporting Caregivers . Today, as part our ongoing work on care, the U.S. Department of Labor, in consultation with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, is releasing our Guidance on Supportive Services for Child Care and Long-Term Care .

Across the United States, too many people struggle to access the affordable, high-quality care they need. High-quality early care and education is critical for the social development and wellbeing of young children. High-quality long-term care ensures that older adults and people with disabilities have dignity as they live, work and engage in their communities.

For working families, care supports are essential and enable those with caregiving responsibilities to participate in the workforce. Too often, workers without access to affordable, reliable and high-quality care struggle to enter or stay in the labor force, maintain adequate work hours or maintain productivity. One survey found that 32% of all employees had voluntarily left a job at some point during their career due to caregiving responsibilities.

As federal, state and local governments and employers look to develop and expand the workforce, they are increasingly recognizing the importance of care, especially with in demand industries like construction, manufacturing and clean energy sectors that are gaining new jobs through federal infrastructure investments. Ensuring workers have access to affordable, reliable, high-quality care will help employers increase productivity and recruit and retain workers.

A key component of high-quality workforce development and addressing the demand for workers is ensuring those who need supportive services have access to them, particularly child care and long-term care. Supportive services help individuals, and especially people facing systemic barriers to employment, enroll in and complete training and access employment opportunities. In order to ensure businesses and grant recipients deliver on federally funded projects, federal agencies are identifying federal funds that allow recipients to provide supportive services, especially for care, to their workers.

The guidance released today is designed to help federal agencies, recipients of federal funds, employers, workforce development entities and other stakeholders in the care community to make thoughtful investments in child care and long-term care to support workers. The guidance includes:

Template language for federal agencies looking to include care as a supportive service in their funding opportunities
A checklist to evaluate funding applications and project details related to supportive services and care strategies.
Potential roles for various stakeholders in the care ecosystem who may receive or benefit from federal investments related to supportive services for care
Care supply and demand considerations that recipients of federal funds and employers should factor into planning
Examples strategies for recipients of federal funds and employers to support workers with care
How recipients of federal funds should ensure their care investments improve child care workers’ wages and job quality

The Labor Department and HHS will continue to provide technical assistance to our federal partners, recipients of federal funds, and other stakeholders to ensure support services for care are effective for workers on federal projects, care providers and the care workforce.

That is why the President launched a comprehensive action plan and provided billions in funding to protect communities from toxic “forever chemicals” that are linked to a range of severe health problems, including cancers, liver and heart damage, and developmental impacts in children. Found in drinking water, soil, air, and our food supply, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) persist in the environment for long periods of time, posing a serious health threat across rural, suburban, and urban areas.

Today the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is announcing the first-ever national legally enforceable drinking water standard for PFAS , which will protect 100 million people from PFAS exposure , prevent tens of thousands of serious illnesses, and save lives. This action complements the Biden-Harris Administration’s commitment to combatting PFAS pollution and delivering clean water.

President Biden has secured historic levels of funding to meet this new standard. Today, the Biden-Harris Administration is also announcing an additional $1 billion through President Biden’s Investing in America agenda to help every state and territory fund PFAS detection and treatment systems to meet the new standard . This funding is part of the $9 billion in dedicated funding through the President’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to address PFAS and other emerging contaminants in drinking water – the largest-ever investment in tackling PFAS pollution. An additional $12 billion in funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law supports general drinking water investments, including PFAS treatment. The investments are part of the Justice40 Initiative , which aims to ensure that 40 percent of the overall benefits of certain federal investments flow to disadvantaged communities.

These actions will help tackle PFAS pollution that has devastated communities like Oakdale, outside of St. Paul, Minnesota, where decades of PFAS-containing waste dumped by a chemical plant has contaminated the community’s drinking water. In this area, cancer was found to be a far more likely cause of death in children than in neighboring areas. The funding announced today will build on funding from the President’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law that is already helping communities address PFAS contamination, including a $33 million award for Tucson, Arizona to treat its PFAS-contaminated drinking water wells.

This funding also builds on President Biden’s action plan to address PFAS pollution , safeguard public health, and advance environmental justice – all while advancing the Biden Cancer Moonshot goal of cutting the cancer death rate by at least half by 2047 and preventing cancer before it starts by protecting communities from known risks associated with PFAS exposure.

As the first-ever Safe Drinking Water Act standard for PFAS – and the first for any new contaminants since 1996 – this rule sets health safeguards and will require public water systems to monitor and reduce the levels of PFAS in our nation’s drinking water, and notify the public of any exceedances of those levels. The rule sets drinking water limits for five individual PFAS, including the most frequently found PFOA and PFOS. Because PFAS can often be found together in mixtures, EPA is also setting a limit for any combination of four PFAS, including GenX Chemicals. This standard will reduce PFAS exposure in our drinking water to the lowest levels that are feasible for effective nationwide implementation.

Today’s announcements advance President Biden’s broader commitment to deliver clean water for every American. The President’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law invests over $50 billion to upgrade water infrastructure – the largest investment in clean water in American history. This includes a historic $15 billion to replace toxic lead pipes and protect children from brain damage, as part of President Biden’s goal of replacing every lead pipe in the country within a decade.

Recent Federal Actions to Protect Communities from PFAS

Under President Biden’s leadership, nearly two dozen federal agencies and offices have made systematic and substantive progress to safeguard public health and protect the environment from PFAS in drinking water and beyond. This work is coordinated by the White House Council on Environmental Quality, which leads the Interagency Policy Committee on PFAS. Other new actions the Biden-Harris Administration has advanced to combat PFAS pollution over the past year include:

Protecting Firefighters from PFAS : The Biden-Harris Administration is committed to protecting firefighters from the harmful effects of PFAS contained in fire suppressing agents and firefighter gear. The Department of Defense is offering PFAS blood tests to military firefighters. The Federal Emergency Management Agency’s U.S. Fire Administration is working to reduce PFAS exposure and promoting access to early cancer screenings and participation in the National Firefighter Registry for Cancer led by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health as part of President Biden’s mission to end cancer as we know it.

Reducing PFAS in Fire Suppressants: The Department of Defense (DoD) qualified three fluorine-free foams to replace fluorinated Aqueous Film Forming Foam for shore-based firefighting activities at military installations, which the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has authorized for civilian airports. The FAA is assisting airports to transition to these new foams , and funding foam testing systems for airports that prevent environmental discharge. These changes will reduce the release of PFAS in the environment and protect the health of firefighters and local communities.

Supporting Healthcare Providers: The Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently released the PFAS: Information for Clinicians resource guide. This information gives clinicians up-to-date resources and information they need to help patients with questions and concerns about PFAS exposure and health effects.

Phasing Out PFAS in Food Packaging: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced the completion of the voluntary market phase-out of PFAS used on paper and paperboard food packaging, eliminating the primary source of dietary exposure to PFAS . FDA can now also test for 30 PFAS in a variety of foods to further protect people from dietary PFAS exposure.

Testing for and Cleaning Up PFAS Pollution: EPA continues to take key actions to address PFAS . For example, EPA is gathering data on 29 PFAS in the nation’s drinking water systems has collaborated with DoD to develop a method to test for 40 PFAS in various media including biosolids, groundwater, and fish tissue. EPA also updated its interim PFAS disposal and destruction guidance and has released a new method to test for 30 volatile fluorine-containing compounds in air including potential products of incomplete combustion of PFAS. DoD recently identified 40 installations where interim cleanup actions to prevent further PFAS migration are underway or will start in FY2024. These actions will address PFAS in groundwater to protect public health and the environment.

Reducing PFAS in Federal Procurement: EPA and the U.S. General Services Administration announced this week that custodial contracts for federal buildings will now only use cleaning products certified to ecolabels such as EPA’s Safer Choice and certain Green Seal standards, thereby avoiding products that contain intentionally added PFAS. This shift will protect the environment, federal custodial workers, other federal employees, and those visiting government buildings.
