Talk:State health agency

Proposed merge with Local health departments in the United States
different treatments of the same subject Rathfelder (talk) 23:06, 16 April 2016 (UTC)
 * I disagree because state and local health agencies, or departments, are not the same subject. They are in the same field and do many of the same things but in some areas there are vast differences. State health departments are larger and deal with things locals do not like vital records and epidemiology.

Rathfelder is correct. See Understanding the Relationship Between State and Local Health (Association of State and Territorial Health Officials). Glenn Whiteside (talk) 20:19, 16 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment, the other page in question has since been moved to Health departments in the United States.--TommyBoy (talk) 17:10, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
