HealthyJoCo’s Community Health Assessment and Improvement Plan
HealthyJoCo is a community health assessment (CHA) and a community health improvement plan (CHIP) in Johnson County led by Johnson County Public Health. Using the MAPP 2.0 framework developed by NACCHO, HealthyJoCo undertakes a community-driven approach to strategic health planning.
HealthyJoCo conducted three key assessments—the Community Partner Assessment, Community Status Assessment, and Community Context Assessment—between 2022 and 2023 to gain a comprehensive understanding of the community’s health needs and priorities. Based on community input, four health priorities were identified, now guiding HealthyJoCo’s efforts through dedicated sub-committees within the Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP).
