I am working with a healthcare company on a new facility. We would like to pursue an Innovation credit for "Integrative Process for Health Promotion." I have many questions about this credit, but the primary one has to do with the definition of a "Public Health Partner." Can this individual be part of the client's organization or does he/she have to be from an outside company or organization? The client organization has an entire internal, dedicated Health & Safety group at this particular facility. They would technically be qualified in my opinion. Any assistance please. Thanks!

As I read it, it looks to me like it does not need to be an outside person. There is nothing about that in the credit language or in the reference guide. I did notice that there is an email address you can use to help identify a health partner, and it's possible you could use that inquiry process to determine whether your internal person has the proper qualifications:
