Summary | The National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO) conducts the National Profile of Local Health Departments (Profile) study every three years as a census of local health departments (LHDs). The recently released 2019 Profile study represents the most comprehensive and reliable data source on LHDs. This study describes the governance, funding, staffing, and activities of LHDs across the United States, developing a comprehensive and accurate description of LHD infrastructure and practice. During this webinar, NACCHO’s Profile Team will present an overview of the latest Profile study results, including findings about the functions and characteristics of local boards of health. |
