It looks at health problems, what resources are available, and what needs to be improved. This helps community leaders understand the most important health issues to focus on. A Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP) is created based on the CHA. The CHIP is a strategic plan designed to address the community&#8217;s biggest health concerns by setting specific goals and actions, such as reducing smoking, promoting exercise, or improving access to healthcare. The CHIP involves people from different parts of the community, such as local governments and healthcare providers, working together to improve health. It\u2019s a long-term plan that\u2019s regularly updated to ensure progress and that the community&#8217;s needs are met.<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vdh.virginia.gov\/content\/uploads\/sites\/114\/2025\/04\/CHA-Data-Presentation-Final.pdf\">March CHA Data Slides<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vdh.virginia.gov\/content\/uploads\/sites\/114\/2025\/04\/CHIP-Meeting-4.10.25-Slides.pdf\">April CHIP meeting<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vdh.virginia.gov\/content\/uploads\/sites\/114\/2025\/08\/CHIP-Meeting_7.10.25.pptx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">July CHIP Meeting<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Additional Resources:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vdh.virginia.gov\/content\/uploads\/sites\/114\/2025\/08\/2025-2028-CHIP-News-Release_Final.docx\">News Release RAHD and MWHC CHIP<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vdh.virginia.gov\/content\/uploads\/sites\/114\/2024\/09\/News-Release-RAHD-and-MWHC-CHA.pdf\">News Release RAHD and MWHC CHA<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vdh.virginia.gov\/content\/uploads\/sites\/114\/2022\/08\/DATED_FINAL_CHA.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Community Health Assessment 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vdh.virginia.gov\/content\/uploads\/sites\/114\/2024\/08\/CHIP-Annual-Update-2024.pdf\">CHIP Annual Update 2024<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Updated 2025-2028 Community Health Improvement Plan is here! 2025-2028 Community Health Improvement Plan &#8211; Updated January 31, 2026 &nbsp; &nbsp; A year-long effort, the CHIP was developed through research, collaboration and strategic planning.
