The National Partners are a funded group of non-profit organizations that work together to disseminate information and promote the EPHT Network. Since 2002, the Partners have strategically targeted and collaborated with healthcare providers, environmental health professionals, and local and state leaders in the health and environmental communities. The National Partners are: the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials (ASTHO), National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO), National Environmental Health Association (NEHA), Environmental Council of the States (ECOS), and Physicians for Social Responsibility (PSR).
NACCHO is working to inform, educate, and promote the national EPHT network, primarily through ongoing facilitated discussions. Target audiences have included officials from local and state health departments, academicians, and environmental health practitioners. As the national EPHT program transitions from vision to implementation, the purpose of the facilitated discussions is to ensure that local health perspectives are considered with regard to network features, communication channels, and resources to support the network. As such, NACCHO is going to share the findings and results from these facilitated discussions, as another means to engage public health practitioners about the National Environmental Public Health Tracking Network.
