Community Health Improvement Plan(CHIP)

What is the CHIP?

The 2020-2022 Community Health Improvement Plan (SHIP) is Seneca County’s roadmap to address the many challenges identified in the 2019 Community Health Assessment (CHA). Given the scope and complexity of Seneca County’s health challenges, the CHIP calls for cross-sector partnerships and alignment to meet a manageable set of measurable goals.

The CHIP is a tool to strengthen local efforts to improve health, well-being and economic vitality in Seneca County. The CHIP’s main components are:

• Six priorities including three factors and three health outcomes
• Thirty-seven measurable objectives
• A menu of evidence-informed strategies
• An evaluation plan to track and report progress

With the long-term goal of ensuring we achieve our full health potential, the CHIP takes a comprehensive approach to achieving equity and addressing the many factors that shape our health, including housing, poverty, education and trauma.
