Health Workforce Council

Overview

The Indiana Department of Health (IDOH) and Family & Social Services Administration (FSSA) have partnered to create the Health Workforce Council, resulting from recommendations of the Governor’s Public Health Commission.

The Health Workforce Council will bring together state government representatives and other stakeholders who are focused on practical and innovative solutions to grow the health workforce capacity of our state.

The council will work to coordinate initiatives and leverage existing programs throughout the state, seek to expand recruitment, training, placement, and retention of health workforce into areas of need, and identify and collaborate on incentive programs and strategies to target those areas of need.
