October Update

Dear Community Partners and Key Stakeholders,
Our Data Team is working overtime to sift through our 2018 CHA data and compile "stand-out" data in an easily understandable format. At our next CHIP Advisory meeting on October 4th, we'll start the work of narrowing the data to determine where we will be devoting energy and resources during the upcoming CHA cycle.  This process will take place over 3 work sessions in October and early November.  This first session focuses primarily on the data collected from state and regional resources and the regional telephone survey that includes over 175 indicators in addition to the local key informant survey.  We'll be engaging our advisory in helping us consider the data that is standing out with some additional criteria such as impact and relevance.

Our community data gathered from listening sessions and other community gatherings is currently being analyzed.  Thanks SO MUCH to all of you who helped in this effort!  The conversations have been rich and informative. The second CHIP Advisory work session will help us consider the stand out data in regard to what the community has told us as well as factors such as social determinants of health. We'll come together again the first week in November to identify just a few health conditions to present to the HHS Board. In an effort to really mobilize and move the needle, this is a much smaller number than we have identified in the past.  It will be challenge to narrow our focus but we are hopeful that we can be successful.

In mid-November, we'll make our recommendations to the Buncombe Health and Human Services Board for the two health conditions that collectively we will be working to really make a difference on over the next several years.

If you serve on the Buncombe CHIP Advisory Board, please make sure that you RSVP for the series of work sessions coming up.  We are asking for 100% participation.  If you are not able to attend, we ask that you send someone who is knowledgeable about health and the conditions that impact health who can inform this process.
