Overview 

Strategic Planning is a roadmap traveled by many local governments to guide the use of funding, personnel, and resources to realize a shared vision of the future. It outlines what a community hopes to achieve through a long-term and annual goal-setting process and provides steps for reaching those goals.

As Scotland County Health Department grows and thrives, the Board of Health and the Board of Commissioners aims to chart a course with a strategic plan which articulates a clear vision for our community's future that will ensure vitality and sustainability and fulfill its mission.

The health department is guided by a comprehensive strategic planning process. The Board of Health meets annually to refine the items that comprise the County's strategic plan and to ensure that it is reflective of the changing needs of our growing community.
