About Us
OUR MISSION
To create and foster practitioner excellence to improve public health practice at the systems, community and organizational levels. Our Center strives to accomplish this through providing workforce development, community project development and practice-based learning.
Colorado's public heath workforce approaches public health practice through collaboration. Whether seen in the cross over between nursing and community health or joint departments of environmental and public health, professionals in Colorado and the greater Rocky Mountain region understand that collaboration leads toward greater improvements in the health of all of our communities.
At the Colorado School of Public Health Center for Public Health Practice we understand collaboration and actively integrate the concept into our organization and programs. Funded by a partnership with Kaiser Permanente, the Center for Public Health Practice ensures that connections to public health practice are collaboratively incorporated throughout the Colorado School of Public Health, both in and out of the classroom. Through the Practice-Based Learning program, Workforce Development, and Community Project Development, we are actively connecting education and research to the practice and profession of public health.
In addition, our school is a collaboration of three premier Colorado institutions: University of Colorado, Colorado State University and the University of Northern Colorado. As a result, we have staff and resources located at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus and Colorado State University's Fort Collins campus, in addition to staff and resources connected across the state.
In an effort to connect professionals and agencies, the Center has developed a Public Health directory, which will help to bring together people and projects across the state facilitating professional interactions and of course collaborative work.
Throughout the Center you will find ways of broadening your career and the careers of your colleagues through collaborative interactions in-person, over the phone and online.
