Dear Governor White:
On behalf of the Statewide Health Coordinating Council, it is with
great pride that I forward to you the 1987-88 Texas State Health
Plan. Your approval of this plan will culminate over a year of work
in identifying key areas in Texas health policy and proposing actions
to bring about needed changes.
We have made every effort to produce a plan that fosters a positive,
concise approach, and that has the potential for implementation
during the next two years. As you know, the health-related agencies
of state government will be called upon to address the plan's
recommendations in their appropriations requests for the first time
this year.
The challenge, as we see it, has been to conceive recommendations
which provide policy guidance but do not necessarily require
additional funds. A major highlight of the plan is to improve the
quality of health education, making it a more viable approach in the
prevention of alcohol and drug abuse and teenage pregnancy -- a major
problem in Texas. A Governor's Task Force on Health Education is
recommended to target and coordinate public and private sector efforts
to improve the health status of our school age children.
So that implementation efforts may commence, we respectfully request
that you approve this plan at your earliest convenience.
Sincerely,
Dr. Marion R. Zetzman, Chairman
Statewide Health Coordinating CouncilEnclosure
