Laboratories have long been part of the foundation of public health practice. In times of emerging diseases, bioterrorism threats, and natural disasters, the role of public health laboratories is highly visible, but even in the absence of these events, these laboratories are essential community partners in protecting the public's health. This program will focus on the laboratory network in the Twin Cities area of Minneapolis/Saint Paul, Minnesota, and how this system works to strengthen public health infrastructure to protect and improve the health of the community.
