Healthcare & Social Assistance Agenda

The Healthcare and Social Assistance (HCSA) Sector is comprised of four NAICS subsectors: ambulatory health care services (621), hospitals (622), nursing and residential care facilities (623), and social assistance (624). Social assistance includes establishments that provide nonresidential individual and family services for youth, elderly and persons with disabilities; community food, housing and emergency relief services; vocational rehabilitation services; and child day care services. The Council sought comments on the draft strategic goals, the intermediate goals, and the activities and outputs needed to achieve those goals.
