Community Health Improvement Plan

A Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP) is essential because it provides a strategic roadmap for addressing community health improvement needs and guides resources and efforts to improve community health outcomes effectively.

Improving the community's health involves implementing evidence-based interventions targeting priority health issues, promoting healthy behaviors, ensuring access to healthcare services, and addressing social determinants of health.

CHIP (Community Health Improvement Plan) outlines strategies and actions to address community and health improvement needs identified through a CHA (Community Health Assessment). The CHA assesses the community's current health status, needs, and resources, while the CHIP focuses on implementing interventions to improve health outcomes.
