Public Health Laboratories and Health System Change . Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and PHLs

Because of the close tie between the PHL core laboratory functions and the disease surveillance and epidemiology functions of the CDC, the greatest potential for collaboration between PHLs and the federal government lies within the CDC.
