SHIP Reporting

The Office of Public Health Practice, Planning, and Local Partnerships recently led a collaborative assessment and planning process that created CDPHE’s 2025-2029 State Health Improvement Plan. The 2025-2029 plan follows the comprehensive 2023 State Health Assessment and sets priorities for the public health system for the next five years. Over 60 subject matter experts, including both CDPHE directors and staff as well as external partners, participated in this process. Thank you to all who contributed!

Every five years, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment collaborates with partners across the state to assess the status of Colorado's public and environmental health and identify health and environment priorities for the next five years. This work results in a state health assessment (SHA) and state health improvement plan (SHIP.) Both of these documents are required by the 2008 Public Health Act and the national Public Health Accreditation Board. CDPHE and partners have completed the 2023 State Health Assessment and are currently in the process of developing the 2025-2029 State Health Improvement Plan. In accordance with the Colorado Health Assessment and Planning (CHAPS) process, our Office also developed the following 2023 Capacity Assessment.
