Public Health Official

A Public Health Official is usually an credentialed individual working for local, state or Federal government, or assigned by a healthcare facility to liaison with other public health officials to address population health issues. Public Health Officials often provide treatment services (in which case they would also take on the persona of Treating Provider below).
