Release of the Charles City County 2024-2028 Community Health Improvement Plan
CHARLES CITY, Va. – The Chickahominy Health District (CHD) and Charles City County Steering Committee are excited to announce the release of the Charles City County 2024-2028 Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP). This plan aims to address the following priority areas with actionable goals and strategies for improving health in the county:
- Healthcare Access and Quality
- Economic Stability, Infrastructure, and Workplace Development
- Childhood Health and Education
“A Community Health Improvement Plan is a great example of collaboration and teamwork. We had many partners coming together with the shared goals of wellness and resilience for Charles City County,” said Emily Hines, population health planning and improvement coordinator for Chickahominy Health District. “Thank you to all who contributed – whether you’re leading a key strategy within the action plan, you’ve attended our meetings to provide feedback and ideas, or you’re helping to share this report with your community members – we are truly grateful for your efforts.”
The CHIP is a five-year plan that will guide collaborative efforts to address the priority areas with partners in healthcare, schools, nonprofit organizations, and local government. This CHIP is based on the findings of the 2023 Charles City County Community Health Assessment (CHA).
