Collaboratives

MOCPHE currently supports three peer learning collaboratives: Data, Public Health Nursing, and PHAB. These collaboratives are ideal for public health practitioners doing daily or regular work on these topics. They meet monthly, and participants are encouraged to highlight ongoing work at their agency, identify discussion opportunities for shared experiences or challenges, and otherwise engage with their peers across the state.

Interested in joining a collaborative or two? Email us at administration@mocphe.org.
