CDC’s Office for State, Tribal, Local and Territorial Support (OSTLTS) plays a vital role in helping health agencies work systematically to enhance their capacity and improve their performance to strengthen the national public health system on all levels. High performing and highly efficient public health agencies are more important than ever. OSTLTS is CDC’s primary connection to health officials and leaders of state, tribal, local, and territorial public health agencies, as well as other government leaders who impact health departments at all levels.
