Administrative History
The regional planning mechanism originated in 1965 as a requirement of federal funds under the Public Health Services Act,
PL 89-749. PL 93-641 reauthorized and reorganized the system. The Health Planning Commission was an interdepartmental health
policy coordinating council created by executive order in 1967 to comply with PL 89-749. It monitored the formation of regional
councils and agencies.
Scope and Content Note
This series documents the 1975 reorganization of area Health Systems Agencies, the selection process for membership on state
health councils, and the formation and initial activities of the State Health Planning Advisory Council and the State Advisory
Council on the Handicapped. The records concern legislation, administrative structure, and political factors affecting organization
of viable agencies; executive action creating the Advisory Councils; and structure and membership of state health councils.
The series contains memoranda, correspondence, speeches, executive orders, proposed legislation, and membership lists pertaining
to designation of health systems areas and agencies and appointments to state health councils. Several files contain correspondence
and position papers analyzing fiscal implications of expanded services for perinatal care and federally subsidized school
meals. There are also press releases, correspondence, proposed agendas, drafts of position papers, minutes and articles on
involvement of the Health Planning Commission in two national conferences, the National Governors' Conference on implementation
of state administrative programs under PL 93-641, and the 1977 White House Conference on the Handicapped.
Much of the correspondence and memoranda are the work of William Leavy, Special Assistant to the Commissioner of the Department
of Health for Health Planning; Joseph Bergen, staff member of the Health Planning Commission; and Kevin Cahill, M.D., Special
Assistant to the Governor for Health Affairs.
