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 the Greater Prince William Region (Prince William County, the City of Manassas, and the City of Manassas Park).

What Do We Do?

We conduct Community Health Assessments (CHA).

We develop, implement, and evaluate the activities in the Community Health Improvement Plan.

We identify ways to use limited resources to address public health issues.

Your Health Your Voice

What Are We Working Towards?

Your Health, Your Voice: Be a Part of the CHA!

The Coalition is committed to improving the health and well-being of everyone in our community. To do this, we need your input for the Community Health Assessment (CHA).

What is a CHA?

A CHA is a way to learn about the health of our community. Information is collected about what health problems are affecting community members, what services are available and what needs to improve. We get this info from health data, surveys, listening sessions, and most importantly, from YOU.

Why is it important?

When you add YOUR voice, you can:

  1. Shape Health Priorities - Your feedback helps us find out what health issues are important to our community. This way, we can focus on what matters to you.
  2. Help Improve Community Well-Being - By telling us what you need, we can work to create programs and services that make our community healthier.
  3. Identify Health Needs - Being informed about the health issues in our community can help you make better health choices and push for changes.
