California Planning Group
The
California Planning Group (CPG): HIV, STD, Hepatitis C & Harm Reduction is the statewide HIV planning body convened by the California Department of Public Health, Office of AIDS (OA), in collaboration with the Sexually Transmitted Disease Control Branch (STDCB), that enables key partners, communities, and providers to engage in active, ongoing dialogue to advise OA and STDCB on community needs and gaps, and to reach the goals of the
Ending the Epidemics Integrated Statewide Strategic Plan.
The main functions of
CPG are to work collaboratively with OA to develop, implement, and revise a comprehensive HIV/STD/HCV surveillance, prevention, and care and treatment plan, which integrates with STD, HCV, and Harm Reduction; provide feedback and suggestions for addressing emergent issues identified by the CPG, OA, and/or other key partners. CPG is committed to working openly as a group to make decisions and is guided by the principles of equity, fairness, and respectful engagement.
CPG values community input and relies on the full active participation of its members and on organized, well-managed, processes leading to careful deliberations and decisions. CPG has two in-person meetings each calendar year. The general public is welcome to attend these meetings and provide input during the public comment period.
