What is a Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP)?
A Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP) is a long-term, systematic effort to address public health challenges within a community. Developed through collaboration among local health departments, hospitals, community organizations, and residents, the CHIP serves as a roadmap for improving population health and well-being.
This comprehensive plan is based on data collected through a Community Health Assessment (CHA) and identifies key priority areas, sets measurable objectives, and outlines strategies and actions to create lasting, positive change.
