Community Health Improvement Plan
The community health improvement plan (or CHIP) is a long-term, systematic effort to address public health problems based on the results of community health assessment activities and the community health improvement process. A plan is typically updated every three to five years.
Three priority areas Identified:
From the Community Health Assessments, our partners identified three priority areas where we can make the most impact on the health of Henry County:
Financial Stability
Financial stability is an integral part of complete well being. Financial stability is a closely related determinant of health for both physical and mental health.
Physical Health
Physical health and it’s contributing factors are key to reducing the mortality and the total burden of disease and illness for residents of Henry County.
Mental Health
Mental health is crucial because it affects emotional well-being, relationships, overall physical health, and how we cope with stress and navigate daily life.
So, what are we doing?
Come to our CHIP workgroups with community stakeholders to find out more.
HCHD hosts a meeting with partners, organizations, and interested community members for each of the priority areas every month. Feel free to come and see what we are doing and share how you think we could solve the issue as a community.
