Current SOW Project Description:

• "Local public health agencies are essential to the provision of quality and comprehensive public health services throughout the state and are critical partners with the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment in maintaining a strong public health system. Each local public health agency shall assure the provision of Core Public Health Services, which includes Maternal and Child Health (MCH), within their jurisdiction. The scope of the provision of each Core Public Health Service is determined at the local level, and may differ across agencies based on community needs, priorities, funding and capacity. The Office of Public Health Practice, Planning, and Local Partnerships (OPHP) and the local public health agency are accountable in assuring state moneys are being used effectively to provide Core Public Health Services."
