This session will discuss the rationale for anchoring health care reform in multi-provider regional collaboration. As the role of public health continues to expand in breadth and depth, flexibility at the local, state and federal level is essential.
Session Objectives: At the end of this session, participants will be better able to: • Assess the validity and application of public health preparedness measures. • Identify federal, state and local regulations that require a county health agency to adequately address the language needs of limited English proficient communities. • Analyze a framework for public health practice that addresses health inequities.
