This effort, which progresses with no formal funding, includes two major phases:

1. A community health assessment (CHA) to identify the health-related needs and strengths of Tarrant County.

2. A community health improvement plan (CHIP) to determine major health priorities, over-arching goals and specific objectives and strategies that can be implemented in a coordinated way across Tarrant County.

In addition to guiding future services, programs and policies for these agencies and the area overall, the CHA and CHIP are also required prerequisites for the health department to earn accreditation, which indicates that the agency is meeting national standards.
