What Is a Certificate of Need?

A Certificate of Need (CON) is a legal authorization required in many states before a healthcare facility can be built, expanded, or begin offering new services. The CON process is designed to ensure that new healthcare services are genuinely needed in a community and won't create wasteful duplication.

Many states require that CON applications be announced through public notice published in a qualifying newspaper — giving the community and other healthcare providers the opportunity to comment or object before the state agency makes its decision.

Who Needs a CON Notice?

Hospitals, nursing facilities, surgery centers, hospices, and other healthcare operators filing CON applications in states with active CON laws.

Why Legal Publication?

State regulations typically require publication in a "newspaper of general circulation" to give the public and affected parties formal notice of proposed healthcare changes.

Digital-First Approach

MyStateCONNews aims to be a qualifying digital-first publication — but whether digital publication satisfies each state's specific legal requirements is an open research question.
