ABOUT NACCHO ADVANCED PRACTICE CENTERS We could not have undertaken this process without the support of an Advanced Practice Center Grant from the National Association of City and County Health Officials (NACCHO) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Advanced Practice Centers (APCs) are local Public Health agencies that are developing best practice tools and resources to help advance preparation, response and recovery in the event of emergency situations. APCs are funded by the National Association of County & City Health Officials (NACCHO), in collaboration with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Learn more about the Advance Practice work being done across the nation and what additional tools are available to help your local Public Health agency's preparedness efforts.
