Can a PACE EH process be successful when initiated by a small, underfunded local public health agency with staff and training limitations?
Yes. PACE EH was tested among a variety of health agencies, including some with relatively small populations in relatively rural settings, and not one was forced to cancel because of lack of funds, staff, or training. Testing suggests the methodology can be adapted to fit existing material conditions within the facilitating agency. Some users will decide the process is currently beyond their grasp, but PACE EH can present a philosophy for the agency to embrace. Furthermore, it can help a facilitating agency identify valuable internal components for future acquisition or development.
