Introducing the 2021-25 CHP and CHA

Lane County's Community Health Assessment (CHA) and Community Health Improvement Plan (CHP) reports and additional resources are available for the community to use to inform local health efforts. ​

Community Health Improvement Plan (CHP)

Lane County's CHP is a menu of action items that, taken together as a community, have the potential to achieve Live Healthy Lane's vision of: Working together to create a caring community where all people can live a healthier life.

2021-25 CHP Priorities:
  1. Ensure incomes are sufficient to meet basic costs of living (i.e., housing, childcare, food, transportation, etc.)
  2. Establish community conditions that support behavioral health and physical well-being
  3. Address current historical injustices that produce disparities​​​

Community Health Assessment (CHA)

​The 2021-25 CHP is informed by the 2018-19 CHA, which identified health issues and needs in Lane County.

2018-19 CHA Themes:
  • A significant proportion of Lane County residents lack access to affordable housing, living wage jobs, health food, and quality childcare, all of which are key social determinants of health.
  • There are significant disparities in both health outcomes and the social determinants of health in Lane County based on race/ethnicity.
  • There is a concerning trend of worsening mental health among Lane County residents, especially youth.
  • The above conditions stem from and contribute to social and environmental conditions that are determinants to health behaviors and healthy outcomes for Lane County residents.​
