Foundational Shift

The 2023-2028 CHIP has identified health priorities that aim to address the population-level issues faced by the residents of Portage County and strive to positively impact their health. As no single organization can bring about change at the population level alone, the Division of Public Health (DPH) and HPPC is going to pursue the implementation of Collective Impact. This approach offers the best chance of achieving the goals supporting each health priority.

Steps to Implement Collective Impact: 

Assess readiness to implement a Collective Impact initiative
Establish backbone organization of Collective Impact
Implement 5 Conditions of Collective Impact: Common Agenda, Shared Measurement, Mutually Reinforcing Activities, Continuous Communications, Strong Backbone 
Collective Impact Workshop for key community partners
