Required by the New York State Department of Health, Community Health Assessments (CHAs) and Community Services Plans (CSPs) provide information for problem and asset identification and policy formulation, implementation, and evaluation. CHAs and CSPs also help measure how well a health system is fulfilling its assurance function. A CHA and a CSP should be part of an ongoing broader community health improvement process. A community health improvement process uses CHA and CSP data to identify priority issues, develop and implement strategies for action, and establish accountability to ensure measurable health improvement, which are often outlined in the form of a community health improvement plan (CHIP). A community health improvement process looks outside of the performance of an individual organization serving a specific segment of a community to the way in which the activities of many organizations contribute to community health improvement.

We would encourage you or a designee to participate in our local process to identify our priority issues that will be addressed over the next three (3) years. Our agenda will be as follows:
       1:45p.m.              Registration
 
       2:00p.m.              Data Presentation- Community Health Indicators
