Past Priorities

2022-2025 Local Health Improvement Process (LHIP) Cycle

At the Coalition for a Healthier Frederick County, our mission is to improve wellness and resiliency to equitably impact the lifelong health of all Frederick County residents. Guided by the 2022 Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA), our Local Health Improvement Process (LHIP) Workgroups focused on three key community health priorities for the 2022–2025 cycle:

  • Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs)

  • Mental Health

  • Type 2 Diabetes
