Strategic Plan Annual Report

Narrative 

The Florida Department of Health in Nassau County has a Strategic Plan which provides a unified vision and framework for excellence in action with public health services. This plan allows us to identify critical issues that must be addressed to protect, promote and improve the health of Floridians.  

The plan is reviewed and updated annually after also reviewing key findings from the Nassau Community Health Improvement Plan and agency Quality Improvement Plan. 

The Strategic Plan was created by the Performance Management Council with input from the community, customers and employees.  Information management, workforce development, communication and financial stability are topics included in planning and review each year.
