Building a Healthier Langlade County
In Langlade County a unique and long-standing partnership among community organizations has been established to develop and implement local plans to address health conditions.
This group, known as "Building a Healthier Langlade County," meets to oversee this process.
This coalition is supported by key stakeholders from organizations and agencies among various sectors of the community. Specifically this coalition works on and oversees the Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) and the Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP).
A Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) gives organizations comprehensive information about the community’s current health status, needs, and issues. This systematic process involves the community to identify and analyze community health needs. In turn, this information can help with developing a Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP) by justifying how and where resources should be allocated to best meet community needs.
A Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP) is a long-term, effort to address public health problems based on the results of the CHNA. The plan sets forth goals, objectives, and potential strategies for addressing the priorities identified.
The most recent Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) was complete in 2022 with the following priority areas to be address in the Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP):
Mental Well-Being
Alcohol and other Drug Use
Healthy Living & Active Lifestyles
Find the complete Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) and Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP) on our Health Department Plans and Reports page.
The “Building a Healthier Langlade County” coalition meets the third Thursday of each month from 8:30 - 9:30am in person at the Langlade County Health Department as well as via Zoom.
