The Florida Department of Health in Wakulla County launched an initiative to better understand the health needs of the community and develop programs and policies to address these needs. This collaborative, participatory process has several overarching goals, including:
- Complete a comprehensive Community Health Assessment (CHA) that will identify the county’s strengths and challenges in providing a healthy environment for all residents and workers.
- Develop a Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP) that will serve as a blueprint for improving the health of the county over the next three years
- Engage partners, organizations, and individuals in creating a vision for a healthy Wakulla County and making that vision a reality
- Position the Florida Department of Health in Wakulla County to continue being a nationally accredited health department
