PHAB is the steward of the national Foundational Public Health Services (FPHS) framework, which outlines the minimum set of public health capabilities and services that every community should expect. We help health organizations use the FPHS framework to guide strategy, infrastructure, and budget priorities.
Whether you’re just beginning to explore FPHS or working to refine an existing approach, we offer tailored support to help you assess capacity, set goals, and plan for implementation.
All PHAB consulting services, trainings, and workshops can be purchased as-is or customized to meet your needs! For in-person offerings, we come to you.
