COMMUNITY HEALTH ASSESSMENT (CHA) & COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PLAN (CHIP)
The Community Health Assessment and Community Health Improvement Plan process will:
center health equity and community engagement.
assess the health status of Brookline residents, needs for or barriers to improvement.
assess the prevalence and trends in health conditions (i.e., cancer, heart disease, and mental health).
explore social and structural determinants of health impacting these trends.
inform the planning process to identify gaps, address health disparities and establish the need for or promote programs to benefit the health of the community.
