Public Health Officials: In 1968 the public health officials Health Service was reorganized into three separate health agencies: the Health Services and Mental Health Administration, the National Institutes of Health, and the Consumer Protection and Environmental Health -Service, including the Food and Drug Administration, one of the agencies originally transferred into the Federal Security Agency in 1939. These three health agencies are directed by the assistant secretary for health and scientific affairs, who is aided by the surgeon general of the public health officials Health Service.
The Partnership for Health program was the product of this growing dissatisfaction. The main features of the law were: comprehensive state-wide health planning, participation on a majority basis of nonprofessional citizens in the planning process, and federal financial support for public health officials health programs defined by the state planning agencies. These few ground rules represented a tremendous potential for making public health officials health services responsive to the needs of people in local communities.
Another major public health officials health development in the U.S. was the passage of the Regional Medical Centers Act.
Some states were attempting to organize the administration of their public health officials health facilities by merging departments. New Mexico and Nevada followed the example of California, Maine, Missouri, and New Hampshire and combined their health and welfare departments. The commission studying the public health officials health needs of New York City recommended a single health services administration for the city and the creation of a nonprofit corporation to operate city hospitals and health centers.
