Community health improvement partnership
Community partnerships help communities create, improve, and sustain physical and social environments that keep residents healthy and actively engaged in life.
Envisioning a healthier Hennepin County
The five Community Health Boards of Hennepin County convened the Community Health Improvement Partnership (CHIP) to foster and strengthen successful partnerships to improve health in our shared community. The intent of this collaborative work is to:
- Develop a shared vision for improving health across public and private organizations.
- Establish common health-related priorities within and across multiple organizations.
- Identify actionable steps that could be executed collectively or collaboratively.
- Foster complementary action and alignment of efforts.
- Coordinate use of assets and resources to gain efficiencies and bridge gaps.
This plan, written on behalf of the partnership is intended to:
- Document the progress to-date.
- Be a guide for collaborative planning and action.
- Influence strategic planning efforts at the individual organizational level.
- It has been developed using the Mobilizing for Action through Planning and Partnerships (MAPP) process, a community engagement planning tool.
