The strategic plan for PA DHS comprises four goals:

  • providing every child with a strong foundation for physical and behavioral well-being;

  • bending the health care cost curve;

  • enhancing access to health care and social services that help Pennsylvanians lead healthy, productive lives; and

  • promoting accountable, transparent government.

A key part of the plan includes expanding access to high-quality child care for low-income, working families and supporting the healthy development and learning of young children by connecting their caregivers to critical supports.
