Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP)

The Knox County CHA has been utilized as a vital tool for creating the Knox County Community Health
Improvement Plan (CHIP). The Public Health Accreditation Board (PHAB) defines a CHIP as a long-term,
systematic effort to address health problems based on the results of assessment activities and the
community health improvement process. This plan is used by health and other governmental, education,
and human service agencies, in collaboration with community partners, to set priorities and coordinate
and target resources. A CHIP is critical for developing policies and defining actions to target efforts that
promote health. It should define the vision for the health of the community inclusively and should be
done in a timely way.

This plan will serve as a blueprint for positive
change in our community and will assist you in your efforts to make Knox County a wonderful place to
live, work, and play.
