State posts health project filings monthly

Beginning July 1, 2025, the state health department posts certificate of need letters of intent on its website. On the 10th day of each month, it lists every letter it got in the prior month. Within 30 days after each post, anyone can file a letter asking for a comparative review of a listed proposal. This creates a regular public notice so applicants, competitors, and communities can track proposed health facility projects.
