The Public Health Academy (PHA), a yearlong program of monthly trainings designed to increase the public health expertise of Multnomah County Health Department employees, began in Februrary 1999 as a way to increase its capacity to base program decisions on community assessment, health measures, and outcome data. Teams accepted to the PHA at the beginning of the year learn, throughout the year, to apply public health thinking to various team projects. Project outcomes are shared throughout the health department at the end of the year.
