The community health improvement Core Group, led by the District Director, is a
multi-tiered, team-driven framework which supports and leads the overall CHA/CHIP
process. This group consists of the Health District Director, Population Health
Manager, CHA-CHIP Lead, and Population Health Coordinator.
The HPHD Core Group convenes, as needed, to provide strategic direction for the
CHA/CHIP process to include collection, analysis, and dissemination of data,
mobilization of partners, and establishment of the timeline. The Core Group is also
responsible for supporting the Steering Committee and CHIP Workgroup activities, as
well as overall community health improvement and strategic planning efforts.
c. Steering Committee
Community health improvement efforts require a collective impact from public health,
community-based partners, health systems, and the community to establish the
processes, develop and plan interventions, and evaluate efforts to support maximum
impact. With this key concept in mind, The HPHD CHIP Steering Committee was
formed and comprised of representatives from community-based organizations that
reach and engage a broader cross section of the Peninsula community. HPHD was
intentional in its approach to ensure members of the Steering Committee were more
reflective of the Peninsula community, as well as bring new partnerships to the
district’s community health improvement process.
The HPHD Steering Committee members are essential to providing guidance and
strategic direction for the community health improvement initiative. Inclusive of higher-
level representatives, who were also champions within their organization for
community health improvement, allowed for greater decision making and forward
movement with the identification and selection of priority health concerns and the
corresponding indicator for measurement.
Steering Committee members ultimately selected four priority areas of focus, and
indicators for measurement, which were further defined and delegated through the
CHIP process. The selected focus areas are broad and inclusive of many of the
themes described throughout the CHA, and there is certainly no shortage of work
within each issue. These include:
• Firearm Violence (indicator for measurement = firearm violence death rate)
• Heart Disease (indicator for measurement = heart disease death rate)
• Infant Mortality (indicator for measurement = infant mortality death rate)
• Substance Use (indicator for measurement = drug overdose death rate)
The Steering Committee was led by a non-voting facilitator, appointed by the District
Director, which helped streamline the planning process, maintain focused
discussions, and deliver effective outcomes. This initial planning process is outlined
below.
