What is the Los Angeles County Community Health Improvement Plan?

The goal of the Los Angeles County Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP) is to create an action-oriented plan that encourages collaboration between sectors on priority public health issues to improve health and well-being. CHIP is a cyclical process that sets new priorities based on the most recent data and builds on existing community efforts to change the underlying factors that have a negative impact on community health. The plan outlines specific strategies designed to improve the health of all county residents, with a focus on increasing partnerships, access, and equity, while taking into account evidence-based supports for all county residents across the lifespan. CHIP is a community-driven strategic plan for the Department of Public Health (DPH) and county stakeholders to work together to improve the health of all community members.
