Harford County Community Health Improvement Plan 2025-2030

The Harford County Local Health Improvement Coalition (LHIC) is pleased to present the following Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP) to county residents, community organizations, and civic groups after engaging in a year-long strategic planning process. The CHIP aligns with gaps identified within the 2024 Harford County Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA). The LHIC comprises over 80 member organizations and individuals representing a broad spectrum of the community and all aspects of health. Community residents are also members of the LHIC and sit on all three workgroups. The CHNA data was both quantitative and qualitative. Input was gathered from residents through a community forum, focus groups, and a Community Health Survey that reached over 2,200 respondents. Other quantitative data on the health status of the community was gathered to provide a complete picture of Harford County's health landscape. The resulting data was examined by LHIC members, who identified three health priorities: Behavioral Health, Chronic Disease & Wellness, and Family Health & Resilience. Three workgroups and subcommittees composed of individuals and organizations committed to improving health issues have been formed and are currently working on their priority action plans.
