Community Health Profile

The Community Health Profile is a critical first step in identifying community health needs and problems, which then serve as the basis for establishing priorities in the Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP). The CHIP is a five-year, community-wide plan that identifies health priorities and community-wide goals and objectives for addressing those priorities.
