Local Public Health Staff-Sharing Arrangements in Minnesota and New Jersey

SLGE examines how local health departments have implemented staff-sharing arrangements across geographic boundaries. The research provides important insight on key challenges, how the effort was implemented, financial consideration, outcomes, and lessons learned through two case studies of staff-sharing arrangements  in New Jersey and Minnesota. The report also highlights two areas of focus that are critical as local leaders consider sharing staff across jurisdictions: building the business case for cross-jurisdictional sharing and evaluating the success of the arrangement.
