• Click here to see the 8 Priorities document from the Community Health Needs Assessment
• The community health needs
  assessment was crafted to reach
  underserved and vulnerable
  populations, understand their needs,
  develop priority areas of focus for the
  region, and establish the foundation
  for a sustainable Community Health
  Improvement Plan (CHIP) in Fresno
  County. A primary goal of the health
  needs assessment was to understand
  Fresno County’s health needs from the
  perspective of community residents,
  multi-sector key informants and
  stakeholders. By achieving this goal,
  we built the foundation for developing
  future partnerships across sectors to
  address common priority areas.
