Maintaining a strong partnership between public health practitioners and primary care providers is a critical piece of keeping the public safe, healthy, and well. ASTHO's primary care portfolio examines key areas of the intersection between public health and primary care and equips state/territorial health departments to maintain a robust healthcare workforce. ASTHO also supports state/territorial primary care offices (PCOs) with training and resources on access to care issues and health workforce recruitment and retention.
