Model Practices
NACCHO strives to recognize the best local public health practices in the country. This is why we created the Model Practices Awards.
NACCHO’s Model Practices Program nationally honors and recognizes outstanding local public health practice and shares the outstanding practices through the Model Practices Database. By submitting a practice, LHDs contribute to the overall improvement of public health through effective evidence-based practice methods.
