In 1982, the Health Planning Council of Northeast Florida (HPCNEF) became one of 11 Local Health Councils mandated by Florida State Statute 408.033 to dedicate resources and expertise to regional health utilization data management, health planning and research, community organizing, health promotion, and awareness programs. We take the lead from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (ODPHP) Healthy People Initiative.
