Community Health Improvement (CHI) is a process used in public health to identify and address the health needs of communities. The 2022-2025 Washoe County Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP) draws on health data and assessments to form an action-oriented blueprint for improving quality of life for those in Washoe County. The 22-25 CHIP is meant to be a living document, adjusting to new or changing information, resources, and community context.
Northern Nevada Public Health released the 2022-2025 CHIP to reflect a three-year cycle and a comprehensive commitment to addressing public health challenges. Based on the findings of a 2022-2025 Community Health Assessment (CHA), the CHIP outlines the community’s top priorities and a collective action plan for how health will be improved. Through ongoing collaboration, shared accountability, and shared resources, partners work closely to coordinate efforts targeted at each health priority area to maximize impact in the county.
