Local Assessment and Planning


Local public health agencies in Colorado follow the CHAPS processes to assess population and environmental health, assess system-wide capacity, determine priority areas, and develop and implement their public health improvement plans. While the process is similar, locals work on slightly different timelines and prioritize a wide variety of health and environmental issues. The following resources are meant to help local agencies to connect and partner with one another. Use the tools on this page to discover other agencies that are in similar phases of the CHAPS cycle or that are focusing on similar priorities, goals, and strategies.
