Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA)

• CHIP EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
• CHIP SECTION 1 - INTRO
• CHIP SECTION 2 - FRAMEWORK PROCESS
• CHIP SECTION 3 - STRATEGIC PRIORITY AREAS
• CHIP SECTION 4 - MAKING IT HAPPEN

The components included in this document represent the strategic framework for a data-driven and community-informed Community Health Improvement Plan. The St. Clair County Health Department, along with community partners, stakeholders, and St. Clair County citizens, will continue finalizing the (CHIP) by prioritizing strategies, developing specific 1-year action steps, assigning lead responsible parties, and identifying resources for each priority area. Countywide engagement opportunities will occur through interactive public meetings. As needed, detailed work plans for the listed strategies will be developed by the lead agencies.

Each year, the (CHIP) Advisory Committee will reconvene to review the plan, discuss progress, and share lessons learned. After the annual meeting, the plan will be updated with the most recent data, and any needed changes in strategies will be made. The St. Clair County Health Department will develop an annual progress report based on the results of the progress meeting and will republish a new version of the plan on its website. Progress reports and the updated plan will be distributed to partners via email when available.

In 2023, the (CHIP) Advisory Committee will reconvene to carry out another strategic planning process, select new strategic priority areas, and develop a new community health improvement plan for St. Clair County.

Community dialogue sessions and forums should occur in order to engage residents in the implementation, to share progress, to solicit feedback, and to strengthen the (CHIP). Regular communication to community members and stakeholders will occur throughout the implementation. New and creative ways to feasibly engage all parties should continually be explored at the aforementioned engagement opportunities.

Ongoing St. Clair County health assessment activities include conducting behavioral risk factor surveys, publication of a community health report card, creation of Community Health Improvement Plans (CHIP) and associated health improvement efforts through a network of community coordinated linkages.
