EnFoCo works collaboratively to create healthier communities by:

In 2008, Colorado passed the Public Health Reauthorization Act, which requires local public health agencies to create a health improvement plan based on a community health assessment and with community input. 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.
