Our Mission
The mission of CHS is to encourage, support, and empower residents to be healthy, build capacity for self-sufficiency, and improve the health and well-being of the community. CHS focuses on neighborhood-based community strategies that address root causes of health and social inequity in public education and income and economic development.
Key strategies that CHS currently uses include:
- Promoting healthy choices through policy development, community engagement, education, and information dissemination.
- Protecting the health and well-being of residents with appropriate interventions and health policies based on state-of-the-art knowledge.
- Ensuring access to quality health and social services through collaboration with individuals, families, institutions, and available resources in the community.
- Providing culturally and ethnically sensitive services to the community.
- Engaging in ongoing planning and evaluation in partnership with the community.
