What is a Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP)?

The Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP) outlines an action plan to address several strategic focus areas that are based on community health and safety needs in Mariposa County that were identified by the Community Health Assessment (CHA). The CHIP helps health officials and community members’ work together to set priorities, direct the use of resources, and develop and implement projects and programs to improve community health and wellness over the long term. The CHIP is continually guided by CHIP Co-Chairs and The Steering Committee Team, a group of community leaders and stakeholders who help to support the plan.
