Led by the Tulsa Health Department, more than 65+ community partners, created the 2023-2028 Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP) for Tulsa County. The overall goal of the plan is to improve the health and well-being of Tulsa County residents in order to become the healthiest county in the United States.
Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP) for Tulsa County. The overall goal of the plan is to improve the health and well-being of Tulsa County residents in order to become the healthiest county in the United States. The CHIP is divided into three specific action plans to address the top three health concerns in Tulsa County:
Most importantly, this plan will address health equity issues and the social determinants of health: the conditions in the environments in which people are born, live, learn, work, play, worship, and age that affect a wide range of health, functioning and quality-of-life outcomes and risks. Development for this plan began in late 2020 and continued through January 2023, with input from residents and stakeholders in the public and private sector. The plan is a long-term, systemic effort to address public health problems based on the results of community health needs assessment activities and the community health improvement process.
We are very excited to share this plan with you – and make a difference in Tulsa County.
In 2022, an assessment was conducted on behalf of the Tulsa Health Department, in collaboration with Saint Francis Hospital, by PRC, a nationally recognized health care consulting firm. This Community Health Needs Assessment is a systematic, data-driven approach to determining the health status, behaviors, and needs of residents in Tulsa County. Subsequently, this information may be used to inform decisions and guide efforts to improve community health and wellness. This also provides information so that communities may identify issues of greatest concern and decide to commit resources to those areas, thereby making the greatest possible impact on community health status.
