Community Health Assessment (CHA) and Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP)
All Public Health Departments in Minnesota are required to conduct an assessment to determine local health priorities and develop an improvement plan to explain what we plan on doing to address key health issues. We must submit a CHA/CHIP every five years to the Minnesota Department of Health.
Since 2017 we have been working with Buffalo Hospital, part of Allina Health, CentraCare – Monticello and Wright County Community Action to complete our CHA and CHIP. By working together we can leverage all our resources to make a greater impact while actively working to ensure we are not duplicating efforts.
