2025-2028 Comunity Health Assessment/ Community Health Improvement Plan
Every three years, CCHD and the University of Vermont Health Network - Champlain Valley Physicians Hospital (CVPH) develop a Community Health Assessment (CHA) to identify and prioritize the community health needs of Clinton County residents. We do this to better understand the factors and root causes that contribute to higher health risks and poorer health outcomes in our community.
Clinton County health partners selected the following priorities as most imperative for us to address as a community over the next three years.
- Housing Stability and Affordability
- Poverty
- Nutrition Security
- Primary Prevention, Substance Misuse and Overdose Prevention
- Preventive Services
- Access to Community Services and Support
The CHA is used to inform strategies and plans to enable all community members to attain their optimal health; that planning is summarized in the Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP).

CHA Resident Survey
Clinton County residents are invited to participate in the CHA process through a survey. Residents are asked to provide feedback on health, social and environmental issues in the community and to report on the challenges they or a family member has experienced. Demographic information is collected to ensure a representative sample of residents is reached.
