Florida Law
establishes local health councils as a network of non-profit
agencies that conduct regional health planning and implementation
activities. Each council's district is designated in
The Enacting Legislation.
The
Boards of Directors of these councils are composed of health care
providers, purchasers and nongovernmental consumers. Members
serve for two years and are eligible for reappointment. Local health
councils develop district health plans containing data, analysis and
recommendations that relate to health care status and needs in the
community. The recommendations are designed to improve access to
health care, reduce disparities in health status, assist state and
local governments in the development of sound and rational health
care policies and advocate on behalf of the underserved.
