The CHA’s intended purpose is to provide an overview of the health information and seeks to identify target populations who may be at an increased risk of poor health outcomes. Findings from the CHA are used to guide the development of a Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP). The CHIP will direct and guide the development of SNHD’s and other community partners’ activities through the next three to five years. SNHD and community partnerships have assessed the health status of the community as well as community behaviors and conditions. Where available this CHA examines the health status of Clark County and compares it to the state-wide as well as national health indicators.
