Community Health Assessment and Improvement Plan
The Community Health Assessment (CHA) is a big-picture look at the health of a community. It helps identify issues related to health problems, what’s causing them, and what resources are available to help improve health.
The Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP) is a plan that helps communities focus on the most important health issues and work together to solve them. It involves gathering data, identifying the issues, and making a plan to fix them.
Linn, Benton, and Lincoln Counties work together on a regional CHA and CHIP. This helps us share information, involve more partners, and create plans to improve health across the region. This work is led by the Partnership for Community Health, which includes:
- Health departments of Linn, Benton, and Lincoln counties
- Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians
- Intercommunity Health Network Coordinated Care Organization (IHN-CCO)
- Samaritan Health Services
- The IHN-CCO Community Advisory Council
- Linn, Benton, Lincoln Health Equity Alliance
- United Way of Linn, Benton, and Lincoln Counties
You can find updates, data, and resources about the CHIP on the Partnership for Community Health website: www.lblpartnershipforhealth.org.
