Community Health Assessment and Health Improvement Plan

Schenectady County Public Health Services, Ellis Medicine, St. Peter’s Health Partners-Sunnyview Rehabilitation Hospital, and community partners worked collaboratively to develop the Schenectady County Community Health Assessment (CHA) and Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP).

This plan was developed for 2022-2024 and includes public health areas of need in which Schenectady County will work to address. Public health areas of need are identified by New York State Department of Health in the Prevention Agenda. Schenectady County areas of need are determined through data analysis and community partner input. The data analyzed for this assessment was compiled by Healthy Capital District.
