Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP)
The Florida Department of Health in Miami-Dade County is pleased to present the Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP) to our community. This plan was developed with input from a multidisciplinary and multi-sectoral group of community leaders coming together to develop a comprehensive health agenda. The CHIP is a plan that the entire public health system in Miami-Dade County will be able to follow in order to coordinate resources for a more efficient targeted and integrated health improvement efforts (Florida Department of Health, 2012). The CHIP is directly linked to the State Health Improvement Plan (SHIP). The 2019-2024 Miami-Dade County’s CHIP addresses six strategic health priorities. These strategic health priorities are Health Equity, Access to Care, Chronic Disease, Maternal Child Health, Injury/Safety/Violence, and Communicable Diseases and Emergent Threats.

State Health Improvement Plan (SHIP)
The State Health Improvement Plan (SHIP) is a statewide plan for public health system partners and stakeholders to improve the health of Floridians. The comprehensive state health assessment (SHA) was conducted to identify the most important health issues affecting Floridians. The five-year priorities of the SHIP are based upon the health issues and strategic opportunities identified in the SHA. The SHIP informs the local CHIP.
