Community Health Assessment and Planning

Community Health Assessment and Planning (CHAP)
Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP)
Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA)
The Community Health Assessment and Planning process is about improving the health and well-being of residents in Olmsted County. Every three years, the community conducts a health needs assessment to determine Olmsted County’s leading health priorities; formulate a plan to address the needs; and publish an annual progress report. Olmsted County Public Health Services, Mayo Clinic, and Olmsted Medical Center engage with diverse partners across our community to lead this process.
Since 2012, CHAP has been working with partners from across the community to find solutions to challenging health issues. Olmsted County Public Health Services, Olmsted Medical Center, Mayo Clinic, and many community groups lead the collective community efforts. Our membership comes from the public, private and nonprofit sectors and includes health care, housing, and education.
