Fond du Lac CHIP Process Kya Schnettler, CHES Fond du Lac Family YMCA
How it all began… • 2010- Health Assessments Task Force was formed through CHIP process • Health Department, Agensian Healthcare, United Way • Goals • Provide quantitative and qualitative health data to identify, prioritize and monitor health needs of county • Develop coordinated and collaborative action plan • Engage community leaders to commit resources toward health improvement • Help Fond du Lac County residents improve their health
Methodology • Questionnaire • Community members and Stakeholders • 24 health issues created based on Healthy People 2020 • Respondents rated each issue on 4-point scale from “not a problem” to “major problem” • An additional open-ended question about the most pressing health issue was asked of stakeholders before the 24 health items to obtain a top-of mind answer
2011 – health priorities identified • 3 subgroups of concern created • general health • healthcare access and affordability • injury and violence prevention
4 Priorities for Fond du Lac County • Increase dental care access for children and adults with Medicaid. • Improve mental health access to enhance the quality of life of Fond du Lac County residents. • Decrease binge drinking and over-consumption of alcohol among youth and adults. • Increase the number of Fond du Lac County residents who are at a healthy weight for their height.
Formation of Living Well Coalition • 2 obesity coalitions were active • School district aimed at healthy kids/families • Area businesses • Many great initiatives - very little coordination • 1-year process to examine strategy • Transform WI Grant was written to hire coordinator of obesity efforts
