The Community Health Advisory Council (CHAC) is a venue for community members, patients, and CHA staff to participate in advancing CHA’s Regional Wellbeing Assessment and Implementation Strategy cycle.
Members engage in collaboration, continuous learning, advising, and monitoring related to community health strategies and actions.
The CHAC meets 4 times per year.
We share information, resources, and skills.
We build connections and relationships.
We evaluate progress related to the Wellbeing Assessment and Implementation Strategy.
We discuss feedback and recommendations on community health projects and activities.
We raise awareness about health issues impacting the community; advocate for equitable access to care, services, and information; and support policies that advance community wellbeing.
We collaborate to address emerging community health issues.
CHAC members bring diverse lived experiences, areas of expertise, and knowledge. Members represent communities throughout CHA’s service area.
