The Southwest Center for Advanced Public Health Practice is one of eight Advanced Practice Centers whose mission is to act as a learning laboratory and development center for local public health agencies nationwide. APCs develop products and services that build local and regional capacity to prepare for, respond to, and recover from public health emergencies.
