Purpose: The CHA/CHIP Community of Practice will:

• Support local public health departments throughout the entire assessment and planning process
• Foster learning about best practices around community health assessment and planning
• Serve as a statewide peer network to encourage troubleshooting, resource and knowledge sharing related to assessment and planning

Format: MDH will hold webinars every other month on various topics related to the community health assessment and the community health improvement plan.

Who should participate? MDH encourages directors, CHS administrators, planners, and anyone working on a community health board's assessment or plan to join the CHA-CHIP Community of Practice.
