From Global to Local: Bringing International Lessons to U.S. Local Public Health Practice

Successful health initiatives know no boundaries. Creative and scalable solutions from other countries can provide a wealth of potential for U.S. local health departments working to address challenges in their own communities. As public health in America strives to address challenges in advancing community health, looking beyond our country’s borders for solutions may provide us with new approaches. NACCHO’s new report, "From Global to Local: Bringing International Lessons to U.S. Local Public Health Practice," focuses on the natural connection between global health and LHDs, and the role it can play when the health and well-being of all people can be intrinsically linked to successful approaches, models, and solutions.
