National Organizations of State and Local Officials

The National Organizations of State and Local Officials (NOSLO) program has the following goals: (1) encourage the integration of HRSA s various primary care and public health activities, including supporting quality improvement methods and initiatives to drive the integration of public health practice,
primary care delivery and the infrastructure which support these activities, and examining key issues that affect health care delivery in rural communities; (2) partner with, and seek alignment of projects with State and local government entities and programs that contribute towards population health and health policy development which includes, but is not limited to, health surveillance, health promotion, and prevention of disease and injury; (3) incorporate indicators of primary care and public health system integration such as establishing multi-stakeholder coalitions, aligning with national and regional health and human services initiatives; (4) leverage and promote partnerships across different regions, disciplines, funding sources, and sectors; (5) address a broad range of cross-cutting issues including policy, data and environmental analyses associated with emerging Affordable Care Act (ACA) policy issues; and (6) leverage key strategic objectives, including workforce development, health information technology and exchange, health equity, maintaining healthy weight, and health care financing (i.e., Medicare and Medicaid).
The purpose of the National Organizations of State and Local Officials cooperative agreement is to: (1) strengthen relationships between HRSA-supported programs/practices and State/local health departments (including PCOs), State Medicaid agencies, State governors, and legislators; and (2) develop technical assistance materials and trainings activities that benefit HRSA-supported programs.

Through the NOSLO program, the national membership organizations will facilitate communication on current and emerging strategies addressing common priorities, public policy and governance issues affecting States, territories, and local government entities, and will enable HRSA and the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) to better leverage limited resources by improving planning and program design to complement other public and private sector initiatives serving the needs of the same populations.
