Which of the following is NOT a responsibility of the Illinois Department of Public Health?

The Illinois Department of Public Health primarily focuses on public health initiatives, disease prevention, and health education rather than directly managing hospitals. Its responsibilities include administering health education programs to inform the public about health risks and promoting healthy behaviors, regulating the licensing of healthcare workers to ensure qualified professionals are providing care, and overseeing vaccination programs to protect public health through immunization efforts.

In contrast, providing hospital management services is not within the purview of the Illinois Department of Public Health. This function typically falls under the responsibility of hospital administration and healthcare facilities rather than a public health department, which is more focused on statewide health policies, public health surveillance, and preventative care initiatives.
