Building a new health system: implications for public health management and practice.
Changes in the health care system should encourage private-sector health care providers and the public health system to work in partnership to improve the public health of all citizens. Minnesota, with its recent comprehensive health reform efforts, has made a strong commitment to strengthen the public health system in performing those functions that are critical to protecting the health of the public and meeting public health goals that are identified by the state and local communities.
