The General Health Support Program includes two organizational units: the Commissioner and Administration and Financial Management.
The Commissioner is responsible for the leadership, management, oversight, and policy direction of the Department for Public Health. The Commissioner advises the heads of major agencies in state government on policies, plans, and programs relating to matters of public health. This includes actions necessary to respond to extraordinary events in order to safeguard the health of the citizens of the Commonwealth. The Commissioner serves as the State Health Officer for the Commonwealth. The Commissioner's role includes the coordination of public health emergency response capabilities with federal and other state agencies and involvement in the statewide management of anti-terrorist (nuclear, biologic, chemical) activities. The Commissioner provides leadership in transforming the role of public health in Kentucky to new models as more uninsured citizens have opportunities for healthcare coverage under the new insurance marketplace and expanded Medicaid coverage.
