Health improvement planning takes place at the state and local levels. To develop Florida’s State Health Improvement Plan, the Florida Department of Health led a diverse partnership of public health system partners to conduct a comprehensive state health assessment.
Each of Florida’s 67 county health departments participate in the health improvement planning process at the community level by facilitating a community health assessment and community health improvement plan.
