COLLABORATION AT WORK

The Public Health Training Center Network (PHTCN) has a long history of cross-center collaboration. Together, the PHTCs have created models to help local public health teams drive systems change; established a nationwide set of racial justice competencies; developed resources to support health departments in their workforce development planning…and so much more! Two examples of that collaborative work include:
