What is Cambridge doing for everyone's health?

Curious what the City of Cambridge's efforts are to improve the health and wellbeing of people who live, work, and play in Cambridge? The Cambridge Public Health Department and our many partners are working on a five-year public plan called the Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP)

You can learn more about the CHIP and our efforts in the infographic flyer below. Feel free to share this flyer with your partners and anyone in Cambridge!

Partners across the Cambridge community are using the CHIP to set public health priorities and to help with decisions about health and wellbeing.

Cambridge’s CHIP works on three top priorities: 

The Cambridge Public Health Department and our partners strive to create a plan that is for the community, by the community. If you would like to be part of the CHIP, let us know at bit.ly/chip-interest or connect with us at CambridgeCHIP@challiance.org or 617-665-3800.

A healthy city is more than a place where residents can access quality health care. Social, environmental, and economic conditions affect the overall well-being of a community. In Cambridge, we believe in creating social change that leads to better health for all residents, especially those who are vulnerable because of historical inequality, discrimination, and racism.

The Cambridge Public Health Department and its partners are leading and supporting efforts to integrate health in all city policies so that everyone who lives, learns, works, and plays in Cambridge can experience a healthy life, regardless of age, gender, race, ethnicity, religion, sexual identity/orientation, or ability.
