The Health Improvement Partnership of Maricopa County is a collaborative effort between Maricopa County Department of Public Health and more than 100 public and private organizations addressing priority health issues through the 2018-2023 Community Health Improvement Plan. Many participants are from organizations that have been involved since the Community Health Assessment process, and others have joined as the CHIP has taken shape.
