Who is charged with leading the collaboration process: the hospital or local health department?
Both the hospital and local health departments have been charged with leading the collaboration process, and should engage the appropriate community partners in the community health planning process. There are no set rules for how the collaboration must occur. The State Department of Health would be happy to assist local communities in the collaborative process and can provide tools to make this easier for them.
