The Seacoast Public Health Network (SPHN) is pleased to share an update to our regional Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP), which outlines our public health priorities, goals and objectives for 2025-2030. Completed during 2018, the last SPHN CHIP outlined the region’s health priority areas, goals and objectives for three years (2019-2022).
The goal of this update is to encourage collaboration across regional health and social service partners to improve the health of individuals, communities, and the overall State of New Hampshire in key areas of vulnerability. Beginning in mid-2023, the SPHN and its Public Health Advisory Council (PHAC) began the process of updating the 2019-2022 CHIP. This work included reviewing regional health data, talking to community stakeholders, and thinking about how to align regional priorities with NH Lives Well, the framework supporting the state’s Health Improvement Plan released in 2023.
The goal of this SPHN CHIP update is to identify both regional health priorities and opportunities for collaborative efforts to improve health within the region’s current priority areas of behavioral health, public health emergency preparedness, environmental health, and healthy living and wellness We greatly appreciate our Public Health Advisory Council (PHAC) members, work group members, and community partners who have provided expert guidance to develop this plan update.
