| Purpose |
NACCHO is soliciting model and promising practices used by local health departments (LHDs) to facilitate effective and innovative public health practice. Active NACCHO members whose submissions are selected as model practices will be eligible for a drawing for a stipend towards travel and registration for the NACCHO Annual Conference. Additionally, all submissions chosen as model and promising practices will be catalogued in NACCHO’s searchable, online Model Practice Database (www.naccho.org). |
| Eligibility |
All LHDs and NACCHO affiliate members are eligible to submit practices; however, only active (dues paying) NACCHO members will be eligible to be entered into the drawing for a stipend to the Annual Conference. A model practice submission does not have to be a traditional healthcare program, but can be an innovative idea, direction, or new way of doing business that can be evaluated. Previous model practice submissions have included fiscal innovations and partnership building. NACCHO encourages LHDs to submit both public health programs and non-programmatic initiatives that further efforts to improve the community’s health. |
