The 2020 Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP) is Ross County’s roadmap to address the many health challenges in our community identified in he 2019 Community Health Assessment (CHA). Given the scope and complexity of health challenges within Ross County identified in the CHA, the CHIP calls for cross-sector partnerships and alignment to meet a manageable set of goals to improve health outcomes for those that live in Ross County.

This was accomplished by completing an initiative to collect and evaluate vital statistics, demographic and public opinion data in the counties we serve.
