2023-25 Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP)
The Sedgwick County Community Health Improvement Plan is a three-year community health improvement process that identifies priority issues, develops and implements strategies for action, and establishes accountability to ensure measurable health improvement. The first step is creating the CHIP, which occurred in Fall 2022. See the six steps in this process below:
More than 70 representatives from healthcare and other community organizations met on October 18, 2022, to review health data and community input before selecting health issues for the 2023-2025 Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP) for Sedgwick County. The group voted to select four health issues for the CHIP:
|
Healthcare Access
|
Mental Health
|
Education
|
Food Access
|
To review local, state and national health data presented at the meeting on these four health issues and on nine other priority health issues considered for the CHIP, click here.
In January and February 2023, partners began meeting in four workgroups associated with each health issue. In March 2023, as part of baseline data collection, some workgroups have chosen to focus on particular Sedgwick County ZIP Codes for their work. Reports generated for that work are listed below:
Additional resources for workgroup members are provided through a SharePoint portal, located here (requires login).

Community Health Assessment (CHA)
The Sedgwick County Community Health Assessment provides a comprehensive view of our community's key health status, needs and issues by collecting and analyzing health data and soliciting and incorporating community input. Information from the CHA helps to prioritize where to allocate resources to best meet community needs. The CHA is data collected to inform the CHIP process.
The SCHD CHA consists of three parts:
