Current Priorities
The 2025 Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA), our most community-informed yet, identified five priority areas to guide the Local Health Improvement Process (LHIP) Workgroups’ efforts over the 2025-2028 LHIP cycle. Local changemakers and community voices will unite in these four Workgroups to transform shared goals into real, lasting impact.
Lack of Access to Affordable Healthy Food
Addressing barriers to affordable, nutritious food and advancing community-driven solutions that promote equitable food access for all.
Institutional and Systemic Racism
Challenging institutional and systemic racism by supporting partnerships, practices, and policies that advance racial equity and social justice.
Mental Health: Lack of Awareness of Accessibility of Resources & Stigma
Promoting mental well-being by increasing access to and awareness of resources, reducing stigma, and strengthening systems of support across the community.
Inadequate Affordable
Housing Supply
Addressing the shortage of affordable housing by elevating community voices to support inclusive development and collaborative solutions that ensure safe, stable homes for all.
