Community Health Assessment (CHA) and Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP)

Harris County Public Health (HCPH) is actively developing the agency’s next Community Health Assessment (CHA) and Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP).

The purpose of the CHA is to gain a high-level view and understanding of Harris County’s health status, community member concerns, and available resources. The CHIP is the strategy plan for Harris County to improve community members’ health and well-being with solutions to address key health issues identified in the CHA report.

Community Partner Survey

We are collecting survey data from community partners that collaborate with HCPH to improve the health and well-being of Harris County. The goal of this survey is to better understand the role of community partners in the public health system. We want to know more about your organization, including the populations you serve, your capacities and resources, and commitment to health equity. The community partner survey is linked below:
