Primary Care and Public Health

ASTHO's Primary Care project examines key areas of intersection between public health and primary care, and supports the 2013 President's Challenge of the reintegration of public health and healthcare. ASTHO also addresses training and technical assistance for state primary care offices, and provides information to state health officials on larger access to care and primary care issues.
Healthcare and Public Health Integration
ASTHO and a number of public health, primary care, behavioral health, and human services leaders convene regularly to guide work in this effort across organizations. Keep updated on new resources by visiting the Population Health Forum page.
