A Local Health Improvement Plan (LHIP) is more than just a document. It provides a framework for accountability, local action, and public engagement to advance the health of Frederick County residents. A positive health status provides the foundation for a thriving community and economy. Through the LHIP, Frederick County will support the attainment of goals of Maryland's State Health Improvement Plan.
The fourth Priority Setting Summit was held on January 15, 2019. Community members and partners came together to hear about the top 10 health issues in Frederick County based on current data. Subject Matter Experts gave presentations and the group of 120+ people completed a readiness assessment to help determine the top priorities for the next three years. These priorities were identified and developed into 3 Work Groups.
Our Work Groups address each of our current top 3 health improvement priorities: Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), Behavioral Health, and Chronic Health. We value community engagement in these groups! Please check out the information below to see where you may want to get involved.
