State, Tribal, Local, and Territorial (STLT) Health Departments
CDC collaborates with and supports public health departments to help them meet the challenges of modernizing data systems.
But this is not a one-sided relationship. Our STLT partners are helping CDC identify problems along the data pipeline, training needs of public health staff, and accomplishments happening along the data modernization journey.
