The
Department of Public Health is pleased to announce the
release of its Strategic Plan 2013-2017, which
highlights key areas where DPH seeks to make significant
improvements in the health of Los Angeles County
residents over the next five years.
The
strategic planning process was conducted within the
framework of broader community health planning, using
Public Health Accreditation Board requirements as a
guiding structure and integrating the National
Prevention Strategy and the Essential Public Health
Services. Surveys of staff and stakeholders, a SWOT
analysis, and consideration of DPH's leadership
priorities drove the development of six strategic
priority areas. Finally departmental subject area
experts participated in priority area workgroups to
refine goals and develop objectives and
activities. Objectives reflect the highest-priority
issues that each program needs to address in the coming
years and offer opportunities for measurement and
accountability.
The end
product is a functional internal strategic plan that
ensures alignment of the department's core functions
within a changing landscape. As we embark on this new
path, we will continue to improve the well-being of
communities across Los Angeles County.
