Why do the hospital CSPs cover a three-year period and the local health department Community Health Assessment (CHA) cover a four-year period?
These time periods are based on statutory requirements and will not change unless revised by the New York State legislature. In 2009, the hospital CSP will cover a three-year time period from 2010-2012, and the local health department CHA will cover a four-year period from 2010-2013. By initiating this process at the same time, a collaborative planning process is encouraged.
