Vision

 To prevent and control the spread of HIV and AIDS

To develop a quality comprehensive HIV prevention plan

     In December 1993, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued the Supplemental Guidance on HIV Prevention Community Planning for Noncompeting Continuation of Cooperative Agreements for HIV Prevention Projects. The Guidance required that between January and December 1994, the project areas receiving federal HIV prevention funds design and implement a community planning process. In response to this initiative, the Florida Department of Health and community representatives throughout the state decided to convene one statewide group to address community planning, called the Florida HIV/AIDS Community Planning Group (FCPG).

       In January 2004, the FCPG became the Florida Comprehensive Planning Network (FCPN).  The FCPN contains three groups, the Prevention Planning Group (PPG), the Patient Care Planning Group (PCPG), and the Viral Hepatitis Council.
