Monthly Workgroup Meetings

Our Local Health Improvement Planning (LHIP) Workgroups meet monthly to work to improve community health in Frederick County.

What to expect:

The 2025-2028 LHIP Workgroups were formed in 2025 and will close in June 2028 when we re-evaluate the community’s health needs through the Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA). Check out each Workgroup’s meeting minutes on their pages to find out more about their projects and goals.

As a passionate community member, you are encouraged to join our new 2025 - 2028 LHIP Workgroups:
