NPHCO Core

National Public Health Coordination Office (NPHCO) Abstract Serving as the National Public Health Coordination Office (NPHCO) 2021-2016, the UMMS proposed program focus on driving collaborative engagement with public health entities, promoting the use of NNLM’s resources and products. Program components include the Public Health Digital Library (PHDL) program, coordinating and delivering training curricula for the public health workforce and PHDL users, and forming a Public Health Collaborative (PHC) of NNLM staff to develop training, communication outlets, and promotions for NNLM’s work with public health on a national scale. As NPHCO, UMMS will work with the PHC to facilitate the work of advancing engagement with the public health workforce. The program relies on collaborative building of methods and processes that maintain values of consensus driven agenda-setting, respecting diversity of voices and needs, and encourages public health to engage in evidence-based practice, population-based frameworks, and recognizing social determinants of health.
