National Movements and Public Health Systems Improvement
The work of CALPHO and its partners is not unique to Colorado. We are part of broader national movements of public health organizations coordinating sweeping changes to local, state, and national public health systems. These movements inform most CALPHO initiatives, policy priorities, and research efforts. Below are some of the national organizations and thought leaders driving new visions for the future of public health, as well as some of the forward-thinking publications they have produced.
