ABOUT US

Who We Are

The Chatham Health Alliance is a collaborative of local professionals and community members working together to improve health and well-being in Chatham County. The Alliance brings together both traditional and nontraditional partners to work on issues affecting health in Chatham County, with a focus on the health priorities identified through the Community Assessment process: Access to Comprehensive Health Services, Equity, Healthy Eating, Active Living, and Economic Stability & Resilience.

 

​

Vision

Our vision is an active, thriving community for all-a Chatham where residents of all races, religions, ethnicity, sexual orientations, and/or gender identities achieve optimal health.

Mission

To bring organizations and residents together to work on issues affecting health in Chatham County, with a focus on the health priorities identified in the Community Health Assessment. 

Core Values

The work of the Chatham Health Alliance is rooted in the belief that health decisions are directly impacted by the social, cultural, and environmental contexts in which individuals live, work, play, and pray. Addressing these contexts is larger than any one individual or agency can address on their own, and the strength of the Alliance to create change lies in the participation and engagement of Chatham's residents, businesses, faith communities, civic organizations, nonprofits, and agencies. Joining together, we can identify solutions for our communities rooted in data, evidence, and partnership. 

The most recent Alliance bylaws were revised and adopted in 2019.

Our strategic plan outlines the goals and actions of the Chatham Health Alliance. Each Subcommitee of the Alliance creates a collaborative strategic plan.
