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.
Local Public Health Improvement Plans - Current and Archived:
- Cycle 3 Public Health Improvement Plans
- Cycle 2 Public Health Improvement Plans
- Cycle 1 Public Health Improvement Plans
The following spreadsheet shows the priorities selected by each local public health agency and regional partnership during each assessment and planning cycle, along with agency contact information. Use the tabs along the bottom to toggle between CHAPS cycles. Please note that the contact information from previous planning cycles may be out of date.
