Overview

The Health Planning Council works in partnership with the St. Johns River Rural Health Network (per State Statute 381.0406) to “ensure that quality health care is available and efficiently delivered to all persons in rural areas” within our region. We provide technical assistance to organizations to remove barriers to health care, and organize outreach and education to inform the public about rural health issues. We conduct studies, surveys, planning and development activities for the analysis of regional health care issues and the deployment of related programs and initiatives. We serve as a key information resource for rural health care providers, and emphasize collaborative partnerships as the best way to make accessible, quality health care a reality for our rural population.
