Description:OIA supports island health officials and their workforce to strengthen public health systems and improve community health outcomes in the US territories and freely associated states (T/FAS).
Public health issues affect these islands harder than most places because of their geographic location and limited local capacity. The remoteness, climate change vulnerabilities, and limited local resources available heighten the public health challenges experienced in the T/FAS. Recognizing their unique historical, sociodemographic, and cultural dynamics, CDC established OIA to support public health agencies that serve US citizens, noncitizens, and nationals residing on these islands.
Headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, OIA also has personnel in American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands.
OIA works toward strengthening the public health system by coordinating capacitybuilding assistance to strengthen the quality, performance, and sustainability of the public health systems in the T/FAS. OIA also works closely with CDC, non-government organizations, and federal partners to leverage and guide funded projects that improve public health business services; develop and train the workforce; and improve data and information systems, public health practice and services, partnerships, laws and policies, and resources.
OIA also helps further public health initiatives in the T/FAS by supporting response activities during public health emergencies, such as natural disasters and disease outbreaks.
