Community Board Podcast

The Community Health Assessment and Planning (CHAP) process uses a collective approach to improving population health. The CHAP administers the Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP) and Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA). Since 2012, CHAP has been working with partners from across the community to find solutions to challenging health issues. Olmsted County Public Health Services, Olmsted Medical Center, Mayo Clinic, and many community groups lead the collective community efforts. Our membership comes from the public, private and nonprofit sectors and includes health care, housing, education. Olmsted County works with Mayo Clinic and Olmsted Medical Center for CHAP’s overall work and is accountable for our outcomes. Three core groups also fund the CHAP process. These include the Rochester Area Foundation, United Way of Olmsted County, and Zumbro Valley Health Center.
