Editor's Notes
We developed a framework to guide our work. We recognized that much of our funding and consequently our programs are in TPHP.
We realized that if we were going to make a dent we needed to start focusing some of our work on the things on the other side of this framework. The PH work that we’re all now trying to create. Go over it quickly.
So this is what guides our work. Many of you are familiar with this already. Recently adopted by the CDPH.
