CHIP
In 2009, the Winnebago County Health Department and the City of Oshkosh Health Services Division began the development of a community health improvement plan. A Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP) is a plan designed to set goals and strategies to improve the health of the community's residents. A Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP) planning process identifies, prioritizes, and develops a plan to address identified health needs in a community. A Community Team is assembled to share available data, collect and discuss areas of need, determine priorities, and develop a plan to help the community address local health priorities. The community for our plan is defined as the 16 rural towns of Winnebago County, the City of Omro, the Village of Winneconne, and the City of Oshkosh. The Oshkosh/Winnebago County Area CHIP is designed to be implemented over 5 years, and will be re-evaluated every 5 years thereafter. The mission of the Oshkosh/Winnebago County area CHIP is to bring together partners to work toward a healthier community, and to use the CHIP process to identify health disparities and to create action plans to address them. The four priority areas that emerged from the CHIP and are now re:TH!NK committees are:
