Building A Healthier Region Through Research and Collaboration

“As 2012 begins, so does our anniversary.”
30 years of research, collaboration and regional leadership in health planning throughout Northeast Florida.

“Our 30 year anniversary is a milestone to be proud of. The Health Planning Council offers both a history of regional health related research and a forward thinking approach to achieving healthy communities throughout Northeast Florida.”
Dr. Dawn Emerick, President & CEO

The Health Planning Council of Northeast Florida has been addressing the healthcare needs of Baker, Clay, Duval, Flagler, Nassau, St. Johns, and Volusia counties (Region 4) for more than 40 years under a variety of federal, state, and local health planning initiatives. We strive to meet healthcare challenges through planning, research and evaluation initiatives that target local healthcare needs and affect health policy.

We serve the region by actively participating and influencing outcomes to protect and create healthy, sustainable communities through our four core functions: Healthy Communities, Happy & Healthy Places, Smart People and Vibrant Partnerships.
