This Strategic Plan answers the question: What can we do to help all Hoosiers reach their optimal health? We considered key support functions required for efficiency and effectiveness and sought to articulate what the department plans to achieve as an organization, the actions it will take, and how it will measure success. The identified measures are embedded within the department’s performance management system and will be tracked regularly throughout the life of this plan. It is a living document that will be continuously evaluated and updated as public health evolves in Indiana and new federal and state plans are updated.
