Abstract
Small rural health departments of necessity rely on expertise from outside their departments and often from outside their jurisdictions. Such assistance does not negate the need for active involvement on the part of local staff. Creative solutions can almost always be found to confront this need. The experiences of Alpine County, a small rural California county, provide a case in point.
