Strategic focus more critical than ever as public health departments juggle competing priorities against shrinking resources. We help local and state health departments cut through the complexity to develop strategic plans that align mission-driven goals with operational realities.

From elected officials to grassroots organizations, we bring a full range of stakeholders into the strategic planning process to maximize both political support and community buy-in. We also work directly with staff at all organizational levels – from frontline workers to senior leadership – to conduct comprehensive assessments of internal strengths, challenges, and capacity gaps that inform strategic priorities.

Rather than another document that sits on a shelf, we build living strategy frameworks that guide daily decisions and provide clear metrics for tracking progress toward your most important public health goals. Our planning processes ensure strategic priorities align with PHAB's 10 Essential Public Health Services framework, addressing the full spectrum of core governmental public health functions and meeting all necessary requirements for accreditation.
