Community Health Assessment (CHA)
A Community Health Assessment (CHA) is a comprehensive process that gathers and analyzes data on the health status, behaviors, and needs of a community. It helps identify key health issues and factors that influence well-being, such as social, economic, and environmental conditions. The findings collected from community voices and health data help guide community partners and our Greenup County Health Department in setting priorities, developing strategies, and allocating resources to improve overall community health.
Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP)
A Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP) is a collaborative, long-term plan that outlines strategies to address the priority health needs identified in the Community Health Assessment (CHA). It brings together community partners, stakeholders, and community members to set measurable goals and implement evidence-based actions. The CHIP serves as a roadmap for improving health outcomes and promoting optimal health and well-being for every individual within the community.
