A Gaston County team developed the business plan through the Management Academy to plan out how to co-locate health department and health center services. You can read more about the Grand Opening here.
This is a classic example of a public health business plan:
- Starts from health needs
- Identifies a key target market (in this case a specific section of the city)
- Maps out a mutually beneficial alliance (in this case, the health department and the FQHC in the city)
- Shows how the money will flow
Hats off to the whole team, and thanks to Health Director Colleen Bridger for sending them!
