Webinar Recording: Ways to Organize Cross-Jurisdictional Sharing — The Role of Third Parties (December 2018)

The speakers in this webinar described two different models through which health departments enhanced their efficiency and effectiveness due to the work of a third party. The first model is based in western Massachusetts and the second model is based in northern Michigan.
