What is a Community Health Plan?
A Community Health Plan is a report about your community that describes the health of the people in your community, the conditions in which they live and the resources available that can be used to improve health. Community health planning is ongoing. It identifies the community’s health issues and outlines ideas and strategies which, when put in place, will work toward improving the overall health of the community.
It includes:
- Information about our Community Health Board and our District Health Authority.
- Highlights of an assessment of our community (e.g. data, community input and research).
- A description of key health issues and priorities in our community.
- Recommendations for strategies/action for the DHA and local CHBs.
