CHIP - Community Health Improvement Partnership
About CHIP
A Community Health Improvement Plan or CHIP is a strategic plan for the community for systematically identifying priority health issues. Marion County Health Department convened the CHIP group in 2011. The partnership brings the health department, local hospital systems, and other community partners together to collectively impact health issues as prioritized by the community. Our hope is that by addressing these health issues as a community we can make lasting, long term improvements in the health of our residents.
CHIP Vision
All people in Marion County will live, work, play, and learn in communities that support health and an optimal quality of life.
