Community Health Assessment / Community Health Improvement Plans
Community Health Assessments (CHA) and Community Health Improvement Plans (CHIP) have been created for the three counties we serve.
The community-wide health assessment, which examines the county’s health status, is intended to help shape the collaborative efforts to improve the health of residents.
The community health improvement plan describes how the Health Department and a variety of community partners will work together to improve the health of the population through various projects and programs.
Access each county’s CHA and CHIP below:
