The PrEP Taskforce
The PrEP Taskforce was created through NMAC’s leadership, bringing together a coalition of national organizations committed to protecting and expanding access to preventive services for everyone. The Taskforce works to ensure that PrEP and other preventive health services remain accessible, affordable, and available to the communities who need them most, especially as growing policy shifts threaten no-cost coverage nationwide.
The following information has been curated by a collaboration of many organizations committed to protecting and expanding access to preventive services for everyone aiming to build a shared understanding of how preventive services policy works, why it matters for communities and states, and how current changes may impact access and coverage.
Webinar Series: Understanding Preventive Services and Why They Matter
Access to no-cost preventive health services is under growing threat, and accessing services for free can be complicated for many consumers. This four-part webinar series breaks down preventive services coverage, coverage gaps, and what health leaders need to know right now.
The Basics: Understanding Preventive Services & Why They Matter
Preventive services — from cancer screenings to PrEP to tobacco cessation programs — are a cornerstone of public health in the U.S., and right now free access to these services are at risk. Experts from ACS CAN, Common Health Coalition, Families USA, and NMAC presented in this webinar designed to help health advocates, communicators, and community organizations understand how preventive services coverage works, why it matters, and what’s at stake amid growing policy uncertainty.

Whether you’re deeply embedded in prevention work or just beginning to engage with this issue, this session will equip you with the foundational knowledge you need to prepare your organization and community and what can be done to protect access to preventive services.
