Transforming Public Health Through Collaboration with Health Care

View Webinar

This webinar highlights the importance of public health collaborating with health care and provides information about two national initiatives–the Digital Bridge project and the State Health Values and Strategies program–aimed at improving population health through reforming the delivery of health care services and exchanging information between sectors.
