"The PDES team is comprised of research and evaluation professionals who are deeply committed to equity and justice through fostering community leadership in public health science and evaluation. PDES brings deep and up-to-date knowledge about the public health system and workforce while applying technical skills to dismantling harmful practices that have existed in public health assessment and epidemiology. The balance of technical and applied skills working in governmental public health have helped Oregon flourish in our journey toward an equitable, modern public health system."

"HBI would not be what it is without the tireless work provided by PDES. The attention to detail, organization and compassion for the work has been amazing! I honestly believe HBI is still around because of the support we receive from PDES."
