The Clark County Community Health Assessment (CHA) is a report on the status of the health and well-being of our residents and identifies top health priority areas for the next 3 years. The Clark County Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP) is a plan for action developed by a partnership of community agencies, non-profit organizations, Clark County citizens, and healthcare providers. The CHIP is a community blueprint of goals to improve the health for everyone and get closer to achieving health equity.
Below you will find links to the full CHA and CHIP. There is good information in these documents, but it is a lot to digest. That is why we also provide some short summaries of the work going on in the community, our overall progress toward our goals, and some of our success stories.

State Health Assessment (SHA) and State Health Improvement Plan (SHIP)
The priority topics along with the three selected social determinants of health in Clark County align with the health improvement initiatives at the state and national level. This helps Clark County benefit from resources such as funding, data collection, evidence-based practices, policy change; also, Clark County is able to benefit from wide-spread campaigns and health promotion efforts. These factors contribute to an increased state of community readiness.
