Community Healthcare Coalition of Greater Prince William (CHCGPW)

Who Are We

The Coalition is a collaborative of diverse agencies and stakeholders working together to improve the health of residents living in Greater Prince William (Prince William County, the City of Manassas, and the City of Manassas Park).

What Do We Do?

  1. Conduct Community Health Assessments (CHA).
  2. Develop, implement, and evaluate the activities in the Community Health Improvement Plan.
  3. Identify ways to use limited resources to address public health issues.

What Are We Working Towards?

The 2025 Greater Prince William Community Health Assessment (CHA) reveals that residents call for coordinated action to address persistent barriers to health and well-being. Lasting health improvements require more than reporting problems -- they require multi-sector partnerships.

The Coalition is sharing data findings and mobilizing across sectors Fall/Winter 2025-2026. The Coalition will hold an in-person meeting Monday, March 2, 2026, when community partners and residents will choose health issues to prioritize for 2026-2028 Community Health Improvement Planning (CHIP). We want to work with a variety of community partners and residents to ensure additional perspectives are incorporated into the CHIP to ensure it reflects the diversity of our population.
