Community Health Improvement Partnership (CHIP)

The Community Health Improvement Partnership (CHIP) is dedicated to building better health and wellness for Sarasota County through a dynamic collaboration of individuals, agencies, healthcare providers, and government.  

CHIP does the following:

• Engages citizens in taking responsibility for their personal health and the health of their communities.
• Encourages focus and discussion on community health concerns across organizational, geographic, and demographic boundaries.
• Facilitates an innovative, ongoing dialog among community stakeholders who meet three times a year to discuss and act on county health issues.
• Educates the public on how to become healthier, access medical care, or get insured.
• Researches and publishes local data on health issues of concern to citizens and healthcare providers.
