Developing the 2020-2024 State Health Improvement Plan

Process of Development

Subcommittees

To develop the 2020-2024 State Health Improvement Plan, the Public Health Division used the Mobilizing for Action through Planning and Partnerships (MAPP) framework, widely used by CCOs and local health departments.  From August of 2019 – July 2020, over 100 partners from a variety of sectors came together in subcommittees of the PartnerSHIP to identify strategies, measures and develop work plans for implementation. Subcommittees included PartnerSHIP members, additional subject matter experts, and people with lived experience.

Meeting archives are found here for each subcommittee: 

• Institutional bias.
  
• Adversity, trauma and toxic stress.
• Economic drivers of health (including issues related to housing, living wage, food security and transportation).
• Access to equitable preventive health care.
• Behavioral health (including mental health and substance use).
  

Community Engagement

The OHA-PHD values authentic community input. Community feedback was sought two times during the development of HTO: one in winter of 2018-2019 to identify the priorities, and another in spring of 2020 to gather feedback on the draft strategies. To amplify the voices of communities most affected, OHA-PHD provided funding to the following community-based organizations to solicit feedback from people of color, people with disabilities, people with low-income, and people who identify as LGBTQ+.
