Community Health Improvement Planning, 2013
The Lewis and Clark City-County Health Department has embarked on a comprehensive planning process to identify public health priorities in Lewis and Clark County, as well as strategies and resources to address them.
This "community health improvement planning" process, or CHIP, is a requirement for health department accreditation. But more important, it’s an opportunity to develop a common agenda for the entire community to use to set priorities, direct the use of resources, and develop and implement projects and programs that will be most effective in improving the health of our community.
The result of the CHIP process will be a Health Improvement Plan that will cover more than the roles and responsibilities of the health department. It will describe how the health department and other community entities can work together to improve the overall health of the people we serve.
The plan will be developed during a series of meetings with a task force made up of representatives of the local public health system.
