Policy
An important aspect of the Health Planning Council of Northeast Florida’s community organizing activities involves developing policy that influences plans for health advocates and coalitions in Northeast Florida.
By statute, the Health Planning Council of Northeast Florida has an agreement with each local government that includes an optional health element in its comprehensive plan. Each agreement is crafted to assure that each local government, regional planning council and local health council will coordinate its activities to facilitate a unified approach to health planning and implementation efforts.
