(1) To advise the Department of ways to encourage     public understanding and support of the Department's programs.

(vi) information on public health system         strengths and areas for improvement.

The State Health Improvement Plan shall identify     priority State health issues and social issues affecting health, and shall examine and make recommendations on the contributions and strategies of the public and private sectors for improving health status and the public health system in the State.  In addition to recommendations on health status improvement priorities and strategies for the population of the State as a whole, the State Health Improvement Plan shall make recommendations, provided that data exists to support such recommendations, regarding priorities and strategies for reducing and eliminating health disparities and health inequities in Illinois; including racial, ethnic, gender identification, sexual orientation, age, disability, socio-economic, and geographic disparities. The State Health Improvement Plan shall make recommendations regarding social determinants of health, such as housing, transportation, educational attainment, employment, and income inequality.
The development and implementation of the State     Health Assessment and State Health Improvement Plan shall be a collaborative public-private cross-agency effort overseen by the SHA and SHIP Partnership. The Director of Public Health shall consult with the Governor to ensure participation by the head of State agencies with public health responsibilities (or their designees) in the SHA and SHIP Partnership, including, but not limited to, the Department of Public Health, the Department of Human Services, the Department of Healthcare and Family Services, the Department of Children and Family Services, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Illinois State Board of Education, the Department on Aging, the Illinois Housing Development Authority, the Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority, the Department of Agriculture, the Department of Transportation, the Department of Corrections, the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity, and the Chair of the State Board of Health to also serve on the Partnership.
