About the CHIP

The CHIP (Community Health Improvement Plan) is our blueprint for a healthier Wyandotte County. It’s a five-year plan, with shared goals and strategies, that address important health issues identified by community members. Currently, we’re focused on implementing the 2024-2028 CHIP. 

Collaboration is key to implement the CHIP strategies. The WYCO PHD works closely with CHIP Lead Agencies, Steering Committee, and other community partners to implement the strategies outlined in the plan. The CHIP Lead Agencies coordinate Action Teams & Committees to plan and implement projects effectively.
