A Community Health Assessment (CHA) shows the story of a community's health and the resources available within the community to address any challenges. A Community Health Improvement Plan shows what local organizations are doing to systemically address the most pressing issues. The Community Health Assessment and Community Health Improvement Plan are created every six years using the Mobilizing Action Through Planning and Partnerships (MAPP) Model.
