2025-2030 Community Health Improvement Plan Dashboard

Overview

A Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP) establishes priorities and guides efforts and strategies to improve public health.

Sullivan County’s 2025-2030 CHIP was informed by the Regional Community Health Assessment (CHA). Sullivan County worked with the six other Mid-Hudson counties (Dutchess, Orange, Putnam, Rockland, Ulster and Westchester) to assess community health through data collection and analysis. More details and options to access the full report can be found on the Health Data and Reports page.

This dashboard highlights data objectives for the following three priorities:

  • Access to and Use of Prenatal Care
  • Preventive Services for Chronic Disease Prevention and Control (Asthma)
  • Healthy Children - Preventive Services (Immunization)
