Community Health Improvement

The Healthy Whatcom team is responsible for ensuring each phase of community health improvement (CHI) meaningfully engages stakeholders and advances racial justice. 

During the CHI process, a robust group of stakeholders:

• assesses health and well-being
• identifies a small number of priorities that no one agency or sector can address alone
• convenes organizations and people to decide how to address the priorities
• brings people together for meaningful action
• ensures accountability and measurement are embedded into the work.

Through this process, we develop a community health assessment and community health improvement plan.
