The Iowa Public Health Standards describe the basic public health services and infrastructure that all Iowans should expect from local and state public health. The standards answer the essential question of the Public Health Modernization initiative, "What should every Iowan expect from local and state public health?" The standards represent the collaborative effort of over 150 local and state public health professionals and public health partners. Their combined expertise, scientific knowledge, and practical experience provide the foundation for defining the responsibilities of governmental local and state public health. The Iowa Public Health Standards were first published in December 2007. A revised version of the Iowa Public Health Standards was approved by the State Board of Health in November 2011.
