County Reporting
This page provides an overview of the CHA CHIP process and reporting timelines for local public health. It is important to note that the CHA CHIP program is currently being redeveloped - more information and resources to come!
What is a CHA CHIP and how do I get started?
A CHA CHIP is a community-wide process for identifying the most important factors affecting health in the community and developing a plan to improve health by building on community strengths and working on gaps.
