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 this fall in preparation for a January 2026 meeting. At this meeting community partners and residents will choose health issues to prioritize for the Community Health Improvement Plan (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.
