Local Collaborative Studies Health Status of Saginaw and Undertakes Planning to Positively Impact Community Health

The Saginaw County Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP) Partners formed in 2009, under the auspices of Alignment Saginaw, with a mission of developing a health improvement plan that would support and maintain a healthier Saginaw. Much work has occurred since we started in 2009.

We are pleased to present the 2017-2022 Saginaw County Roadmap to Health - Saginaw County Community Health Needs Assessment and Improvement. The Saginaw County Roadmap to Health outlines the goals, strategies, and activities related to the top health indicators identified from the most recent Community Health Needs Assessment, including input gathered from multiple data sources and at various interactive public meetings throughout Saginaw County conducted from September 2016 – January 2017. The 2017-2022 Saginaw County Roadmap to Health - Saginaw County Community Health Needs Assessment and Improvement can be found on the Saginaw County Department of Public Health website at the link below, and on the websites of partner organizations.
