Community members and professionals commonly identified several priority health concerns. Many of the
health priorities identified align with Virginia's Plan for Well-Being, state and local health data, and current
ongoing community work.
As is evident in the CHA report findings, there is an extensive list of health issues that could be
addressed within our local communities. This is not unusual for a region of our size and diversity. No
community can address all identified health needs at once; therefore, we have listed the identified priority
health concerns from the 2022 CHA below, which were used to guide our work.
Priority Health Concerns (Adults), 2022
Behavioral / Mental Health COVID-19 Alcohol / Substance Abuse Alzheimer’s Disease / Dementia
Priority Health Concerns (Children and Teens), 2022
Behavioral / Mental Health COVID-19 Violence in the Community Violence in the Home
PART I: BACKGROUND INFORMATION
1. CHIP Process
In defining the health priority focus areas, our first and most important step was to assure that the
aims and action goals are grounded in the findings from the local 2022 CHA. Additionally, HPHD
committed to grounding its efforts in Public Health 3.0 throughout the CHIP process.
Public Health 3.0 builds on the
accomplishments of our past to create a
healthier community for everyone. It goes
beyond the traditional idea of primary
prevention through clinical care and
embraces the expansion of
comprehensive public health services in
the community.
As the region’s local public health
agency, Hampton and Peninsula Health
Districts are committed to embracing the
role of Chief Health Strategist to assist
community health improvement efforts.
a. CHIP Charter
To better align HPHD’s vision among community-based partners and staff, define
goals and expectations, and set realistic timelines for CHIP completion , the HPHD
Community Health Improvement Charter was developed and implemented. The
Charter defined roles and responsibilities for the Core Team, Steering Committee,
and CHIP Workgroups. The details of which can be found in the following sections.
