​San Mateo County Health Community Collaborative​ Planning and Implementation

The County of San Mateo covers most of the San Francisco Peninsula and is home to diverse communities with a population of nearly 800,000 in 20 incorporated cities and unincorporated county. San Mateo County Health (County Health) aims to protect the health of everyone who lives, works, learns and plays in San Mateo County by preventing the spread of communicable diseases, delivering targeted health care services, providing public health laboratory testing and building communities that make it easy to stay healthy. County Health seeks proposals from qualified organizations to organize, facilitate and lead planning and development of community collaboratives to infuse community voice and diversify the experiences and perspectives used for planning, implementation and improvement efforts across the County Health system. We value the wide array of perspectives and experiences in San Mateo County and hope this opportunity creates insight and subsequent improvements that allow us to continue being certified as a Welcoming County. C ommunity Health Improvement Plan (CHIP) Community Collaborative The CHIP ref lects the results of a community-wide planning process (Community Health Needs Assessment) aimed at advancing the health and well-being of San Mateo County . The CHIP Collaborative is intended as the community structure to guide CHIP implementation and to serve as a blueprint for shared action across government, community members, community-based organizations and systems .

The CHIP is a Countywide plan and CHIP Collaborative partners should represent the geographic, racial, language and gender diversity of the county. The CHIP Collaborative should establish and expand pathways for community partners and residents to share their voices, engage with County Health, and support community engagement related to the CHIP priorities .
