As of April 2024, the Virginia Department of Health most recent State Health Assessment identified a set of priorities including 1)
infant mortality; 2) firearm-related deaths; 3) obesity; 4) mental health; 5) substance use and drug overdose; and 6) housing,
transportation, and economic stability. The CHIP Implementation Plan for HPHD directly aligns with priorities 1, 2, and 5. It also
relates to the obesity priority as one causal factor for heart disease.
From a national view, the four priorities areas identified in the HPHD CHIP Implementation Plan align with Healthy People 2030
Leading Health Indicators relating to firearm deaths (homicide and suicide), heart disease risk factors (physical activity, blood
pressure, smoking), infant deaths, and drug overdose deaths.
In addition, Healthy People 2030 has a priority focus on eliminating health disparities and creating equitable opportunities for
people to live healthy lives. Core strategies include advancing health equity, increasing health literacy, and addressing social
determinants of health in communities across the nation. A cross-cutting aim of the HPHD CHIP Implementation Plan is to engage
community organizations in identifying community populations who need help with understanding and access community supports,
including help with addressing social determinants that may influence disparities and affect their opportunities for health.
