The best practices address challenges and strategies in the following areas:

• Management.
• Governance.
• Leadership. 
• Community stakeholders.

Use the Capella library and the Internet to locate references for your report. Remember to arrange your ideas around the core functions of public health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC's) 10 essential public health services.
