Background and Discussion: Colorado statute requires that every five years public health agencies conduct an assessment and planning process that results in the creation of a comprehensive community health assessment and a new community health improvement plan (CHIP). Through completion of the recent 2024 Arapahoe County Community Health Assessment and a collaborative decision-making process with cross-sector partners, two overarching priorities and corresponding goal areas were identified as most critical to address in the upcoming CHIP. This presentation will provide an overview of draft objectives for inclusion in the plan and next steps in preparing for adoption of the 2025-2030 Arapahoe County Community Health Improvement Plan.
Fiscal Impact: Staff and Board of Health members can anticipate the need to identify and dedicate resources to implementation, coordination, and monitoring of CHIP strategies.
