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 six corresponding goal areas were identified as most critical to address. This presentation will provide an overview of the CHIP components and next steps in the implementation process. Board members will be asked to approve the Plan for adoption.
Fiscal Impact: Staff and Board of Health members can anticipate the need to identify and dedicate resources to support implementation, coordination, and monitoring of CHIP strategies.
