Re: CON Tracking Report

The State Health Planning Agency is

streamlining the way we provide you \Vith

Health Planning information. The

Executive Summary and Projects-On-Hand

Reports have now been combined to form

the CON Tracking Report. For those who

received two reports per month (Executive



Summary weekly & Projects-On-Hand monthly) you will now receive the CON



Tracking Report weekly. Therefore, you will continue to receive all the information

you did, but in a more convenient form.

You will find it to be more detailed,

comprehensive, and current than the

combination of the former reports.

Also, a new database is being constructed and, thus, there may be duplicate reports mailed to you.

Please contact Shaun Smith, Public Information Officer, if you are receiving duplicates or if you have any questions at
all.
