Partnership for a Healthy Community

Purpose

The Partnership for a Healthy Community is a community-driven effort to improve health and wellness in Central Illinois. Multiple organizations, sectors, and the public participate in population health planning to identify and prioritize health needs and quality of life issues, map and leverage community resources, and form effective partnerships to implement health improvement strategies in Peoria, Tazewell, and Woodford Counties. Please visit the Healthy HOI page to learn more. 

Through a variety of collection techniques, actionable data for the Tri-County area is compiled every three years to identify health needs and priorities, including those related to health disparities, health inequities, and the social determinants of health. Through this process, a Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) is created. This document guides the creation of the Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP) which determines the strategies and action items that the Partnership for a Healthy Community will work on for the next three years. 

Good Food Recovery

The goal of the Good Food Recovery is to improve the availability of healthy food alternative to food banks, food pantries and kitchens through donated fresh fruits vegetables.
