GOW Health Departments Seek Feedback on CHA and CHIP

The Genesee, Orleans, and Wyoming (GOW) County Health Departments, along with local hospitals and community partners, are asking residents to share their thoughts on the Community Health Assessment (CHA) and Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP).

The CHA looks at the main health needs and challenges in our communities. It uses data and feedback from local residents to understand what the greatest needs are. The CHIP uses this information to set goals and make plans to improve community health.

“The CHA and CHIP show the health challenges and needs in our communities,” said Paul Pettit, Public Health Director of Genesee and Orleans County Health Departments (GO Health). “The CHA helps us see what is happening now, and the CHIP outlines what we will focus on moving forward.”

“Community feedback is very important,” said Laura Paolucci, Public Health Administrator for the Wyoming County Health Department. “We welcome ideas and input from residents and partners to make sure the CHA and CHIP match the needs of our communities.”

Residents and community partners can review the 2025–2030 CHA/CHIP Executive Summary or the full report to learn more about local health priorities and share feedback through a short survey.

Your input will help shape the health priorities and services in Genesee, Orleans, and Wyoming Counties for the coming years.
