The website, http://phpartners.org, presents the diverse resources and interest areas of the member organizations that comprise the Partners in Information Access for the Public Health Workforce (or “PHPartners”).  Chaired by the National Library of Medicine, PHPartners is a collaboration of U.S. government agencies, public health organizations, and health science libraries. The mission of PHPartners is to help the public health workforce find and use information effectively to improve and protect the public’s health.

The Health Data Tools and Statistics page on the PHPartners.org website, http://phpartners.org/health_stats.html, has been recently reorganized to make public health data and statistics easier to find and use.

• County and Local Health Data

• Individual State Data
• National Health Data
• Global Health Data
• Statistical Reports
• Demographic Data
• Geographic Information Systems (GIS)
• Training and Education
• Health Information Technology and Standards
• Tools for Data Collection and Planning

PHPartners.org welcomes new link suggestions of public health online information resources. Contact PHPartners with any questions, comments, or feedback.
