LPHA Document Repository

OPHP has created a document repository for Local Public Health Agency staff to find and share locally-developed resources related to the Core Public Health Services, including Assessment and Planning. All agencies are invited to submit documents for other LPHAs to use and learn from. We hope this shared space will give LPHAs a chance to connect and collaborate across the state.

Do you have documents to share? To ensure resources are appropriately placed and shared within the repository, all documents must be submitted through the LPHA Document Repository Google Form

Do you want to view available documents? Visit the Document Repository.
