The Fall 2023 issue of NACCHO Exchange (volume 22, issue 4) highlights some award-winning practices from NACCHO’s Model Practices Program. The Model Practice Award Program was first established in 2003 to commemorate the outstanding work of local health departments (LHDs) that have demonstrated creative and dynamic action in addressing identified public health needs. This nationally recognized award has been bestowed upon hundreds of health departments since its inception and provides local health departments with a shared database of more than 850 best practices that are immediately replicable in their communities without having to “reinvent the wheel.”
The issue features the following articles:- Public Health Surge Vaccinator Program: Creating a Hyperlocal Team of Surge Vaccinators During a Public Health Emergency
