Ashland, Va. – The Chickahominy Health District, along with several partner organizations, is pleased to announce the release of the 2025-2029 Hanover County Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP). The plan was developed to address the following priority areas with actionable goals and strategies for improving health in Hanover County:
- Healthy Eating and Food Security
- Youth Mental Health
- Affordable, Safe and Available Housing
“The CHIP is a great example of how partners can work together to improve health and strengthen collaboration in our community,” stated Emily Hines, Population Health Planning and Improvement Coordinator for the Chickahominy Health District. “Thank you to everyone who gave their time and feedback, and who will lead strategies within the plan.”
The CHIP is a five-year plan that supports and tracks the work of local organizations – including government, healthcare, schools, and non-profits – as they tackle population health priorities. It is based on the 2023-2024 Hanover County Community Health Assessment.
