Larimer County's Community Health Improvement Plan (or CHIP for short) is developed every five years to ensure that community voice guides our priorities in health related prevention work for everyone in Larimer County. ■The Larimer County 2024-2029 Community Health Improvement Plan development process focuses on a data-driven prioritization process and meaningful community engagement to identify community needs and values, potential strategies, and community governed implementation of strategies to fill gaps. This effort involved compiling county -level health data to assess community health status, assessing capacity of public health partners to address community health issues, gathering input from community partners and community members, and identifying existing strategies and gaps.

Email address____________________________________ Zip code________________ Senior Advisory Board Potential Outreach Program June 2023 Thoughts about creating an Outreach Program to solicit feedback from seniors in the community. Discussion points: 1. Do we need to do this? Larimer County Office on Aging has a huge amount of information about available resources. Are seniors aware of this? What does this office do regarding outreach? 2. Does SAB have the resources to go into the community and hand out surveys or do presentations and noting feedback responses, formal or informal? 3. Does creating this outreach program adhere to the stated “duties” of the Board, “to provide education in this community about the aging process, to inform and be informed, to advocate for a good quality of life, and to encourage networking among the various groups who deal with senior issues.” 4. How many events/presentations are necessary? Time frame? 5. If SAB decides to proceed, how will we present the results to FC City Council? Informal letter? Tabulated surveys? Anecdotal stories? 6. Are we duplicating efforts? Is this information elsewhere? 7. Are there survey models elsewhere in the country for similar-sized cities? 8. What questions have Board members heard that aren’t answered?
