"Health care is vital to all of us some of the time, but public health is vital to all of us all of the time." - C. Everett Koop
The Montana Public Health Training Institute is part of the Public Health System Improvement and Preparedness Bureau. Montana's public health system improvement effort has been underway for a number of years, but the Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services (DPHHS) has recently placed greater emphasis on building its system. The new Public Health System Improvement and Preparedness Bureau of the DPHHS is charged with continuing to improve the system, developing the public health workforce, ensuring public health emergency preparedness, and connecting the state's local and tribal jurisdictions. Recent events, including the 9/11 attacks and the subsequent anthrax attacks, as well as increasing obesity, diabetes, and heart disease trends underscore the need to build competencies for all public health workers and establish standards of performance.
