The Knox County Community Health Council focuses on addressing health challenges and barriers faced by residents of Knox County, Tennessee. By collaborating with community partners, we strive to develop practical and sustainable solutions that improve the well-being of our community.

Our work begins with the Community Health Assessment also known as the CHA, conducted by the Knox County Health Department. This comprehensive process involves collecting and analyzing local data to identify pressing health issues. Based on the CHA findings, the Council creates the Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP) which focuses on three key health priorities.

The CHIP serves as a strategic roadmap, detailing specific goals, actions and partnerships needed to effectively tackle these priorities. This structured approach fosters collaboration across sectors, encourages community engagement, and ensures long-term impactful improvements in health outcomes for Knox County residents.
