New Health Priorities Selected for 2019-2021 Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP)

Partnership for a Healthier Nassau

Last Wednesday, September 26th, the community met to hear the findings of the recently completely health assessments from the Mobilizing for Action through Planning and Partnership (MAPP) process. After review and discussion, the community voted on NEW health issues to be addressed in the 2019-20121 Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP). These issues are: 1. Housing and Healthy Places, 2. Access to Care, 3. Behavioral Health and Substance Abuse, 4. Health Disparities and 5. Community Support.

We are currently establishing short term workgroups which will create goals and action steps for these health areas. If you are interested in joining this process, please call or email Mary von Mohr 904-557-9133.
