Community Health Improvement Planning

The Peoria City/County Health Department (PCCHD) initiated a community-wide strategic planning process in October 2009 to identify resources, prioritize health and quality of life issues and form effective partnerships to implement health improvement strategies in Peoria County, IL. The planning process engaged all segments of the community to form collaborative relationships with the PCCHD. The outcomes of the process are the creation and implementation of a community-wide strategic plan for improving the public’s health and increasing the visibility of public health within the communities. In July 2011, the Peoria County Board of Health adopted the Peoria County Health Needs Assessment and Plan for 2011-2016. This report identifies three priority community health issues that need to be addresses to improve population health in Peoria County. The identified priority strategic community health issues include: obesity, oral health, and reproductive health. The next phase of the plan includes the identification of strategies to implement the plan throughout Peoria County.
