Join A Workgroup
Monthly Workgroup Meetings
There are three Local Health Improvement Planning (LHIP) Workgroups that meet monthly to improve population health in Frederick County.
What to expect:
These current workgroups were formed in 2022 and will end in 2025 when we re-evaluate the community’s health needs with the Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA). If you are joining mid-cycle, please recognize that the work has already started.
To get you up to speed, we will share logic models, action plans, and planned initiatives so that everyone can participate in ongoing meetings and events.
