The San Francisco Community Health Improvement Plan is a collaborative process of identifying health opportunities and strengths as a community and improving the health of our county.

The Strategic Plan is the next step on our journey to public health accreditation. We have completed the Community Health Assessment and the Community Health Improvement Plan. The Assessment involved extensive community engagement with stakeholders throughout San Francisco representing diverse sectors. The Community Health Improvement Plan is our citywide plan to protect and improve the health of all San Francisco residents, and is overseen by the San Francisco Health Improvement Partnership (SFHIP) – a citywide multidisciplinary health coalition.

This Strategic Plan outlines what contributions the health department, particularly the Population Health Division, will:

contribute to the CHIP
deliver the ten essential public health services, and
become a community-centered, high reliability, high performance learning health organization.

The Strategic Plan has two core sections:

The Strategic Map which illustrates the internal strategic directions, strategies and performance measures selected to improve the infrastructure of the Division in order to build the health department of the future. It includes our mission and vision statements.
