How the Plan Was Developed

The Community Health Implementation Plan (CHIP) was developed after the comprehensive Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) was completed. Please refer to the complete CHNAfor the full report. Strategies and action plans were developed based on a consensus among a steering committee members taking into account input from various disciplines.

The organization intends to focus on the priority areas below and undertake strategies to meet the identified community health needs. Most of the strategies and initiatives will be coordinated and advanced through teams comprised of representatives from King’s Daughters and other community organizations. This CHIP will be reviewed annually during the three-year lifespan of the 2025 CHNA to determine if changes should be made to better address the dynamic healthcare needs of the community.
