A Community Health Assessment (CHA) shows the story of a community's health and the resources available within the community to address any challenges. A Community Health Improvement Plan shows what local organizations are doing to systemically address the most pressing issues. The Community Health Assessment and Community Health Improvement Plan are created every six years using the Mobilizing Action Through Planning and Partnerships (MAPP) Model.
Broome County is currently working on the 2025-2030 Community Health Assessment and Community Health Improvement Plan. Updates on this CHA cycle will be posted on this page. Check back in the future!

Community Health Assessment Leadership
The Community Health Assessment is conducted by Broome County Health Department staff, in collaboration with a steering committee of community partners. The community partners include representatives from local hospitals, government organizations, non-profits, and other community-based health and human services organizations. The group meets monthly to stay updated on local programing and new or important health concerns.
