Public Health Futures: Considerations for a new framework for local public health in Ohio

Recognizing the need to respond to current financial and political challenges and to propose new approaches to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of local public health in Ohio, AOHC established the Public Health Futures Project in 2011 to explore new ways to structure and fund local public health.

AOHC contracted with HPIO to conduct research, facilitate a consensus-building process among members, and prepare the final report. The final report was delivered to the Association of Ohio Health Commissioners Public Health Futures Steering Committee on June 15, 2012.
