2019 Transylvania County eCHIP

Transylvania Public Health is committed to protecting and improving the health of all people in Transylvania County. One way we do this is through identifying and working to address important health needs in the community. (Watch this video or click here to learn more about this process.)

The 2018 Community Health Assessment priority areas are:

Mental Health & Substance Use
Healthy Lifestyle

We then work to bring community members together to develop action plans that will address these top health priorities. Together, these action plans form a Community Health Improvement Plan (or CHIP), which is a strategic plan for the entire community designed to encourage cross-sector collaboration.

This "e-CHIP" scorecard is a low-cost, easy-to-use tool that helps us track and display data related to these health priorities and organize community improvement efforts to improve health in Transylvania County.

The following CHIP Scorecard was created and submitted by September 9, 2019 to meet the requirements for the Transylvania County Long and/ or Short Term Community Health Improvement Plans. This Scorecard is a low-cost, easy-to-use tool that helps us track and display data related to these health priorities and organize community improvement efforts to improve health in Transylvania County.
