Community Health Assessment (CHA) and Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP) In 2022, Marinette County Public Health partnered with Aurora Medical Center – Bay Area and Provident Health Foundation to conduct the first-ever collaborative, Community Health Assessment (CHA). A CHA refers to a state, tribal, local, or territorial health assessment that identifies key health needs and issues through systematic, comprehensive data collection and analysis. The CHA serves as the basis for the Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP), which is a long-term, systematic effort to address public health problems based on the results of the CHA. The CHIP was completed at the beginning of 2023. The CHA and the CHIP are key pieces to the mission of Marinette County Public Health: protecting and promoting the health and well-being of people in Marinette County. Please see the reports and plans below.
