The Greater Norwalk Area collaborative of Norwalk Hospital and Norwalk Health Department led a community health planning process to improve the health of residents in the Greater Norwalk Area. The health departments of New Canaan, Westport, Weston, Wilton, Darien, and Fairfield were also involved in this regional effort. This effort includes two phases: (1) a community health assessment (CHA) to identify the health-related needs and strengths of the Greater Norwalk Area and (2) a community health improvement plan (CHIP) to identify major health priorities, develop goals, and implement and coordinate strategies to address these priority issues across the region. This report provides an overview of key findings from the community health assessment and key elements of the community health improvement plan.
