Community Health Assessment (IPLAN)

Community Health Improvement Planning (2005-2010)

IPLAN is a community needs assessment and planning process that each local health department in the State of Illinois is mandated to conduct every five years. The Peoria City/County Health Department completed its IPLAN in August 2005 and identified the top three health priorities to focus on over the next five year period (2005 – 2010). The priorities selected were: cerebrovascular disease (stroke), hip fractures, and infant mortality. In July 2006, the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) approved our community needs assessment and health plan (IPLAN) and granted the Peoria City/County Health Department as a certified local health department for a period of five years.

Peoria County Community Health Needs Assessment and Plan

Community Health Improvement Planning (2010-2015)

In 2009, the Peoria City/County Health Department initiated the community health improvement planning using community health strategic planning process called Mobilizing for Action through Planning and Partnerships (MAPP). This process is intended to identify common priorities, goals and strategies, and to facilitate collaborative efforts to improve the health and well-being of the community.
The Health Department in partnership with community leaders has conducted the following assessments in an effort to develop a community health improvement plan for Peoria County.

1. Local Public Health System Performance Assessment (LPHSA)
2. Community Health Status Assessment (CHSA)
3. Community Themes and Strengths Assessment (CTSA)
4. Forces of Change Assessment (FOCA)

It is expected that the new community health improvement plan will be completed in late 2010 for the upcoming five-year period (2010-2015).

Below are the links to several documents developed during the process. You can follow the progress of your community health plan on this page as additional materials are posted. Further information and additional opportunities for citizens to contribute and participate will also be posted.
