The East Central Kansas Public Health Coalition, involving counties like Chase, Coffey, and others, embarked on a journey of regional collaboration in public health. Beginning in 2008 with STD prevention efforts, the coalition has expanded its scope to address community health through various projects, including the NACCHO CHACHIP Demonstration Site initiative. Key deliverables, such as the Community Health Profile and Improvement Plan, leverage local resources, involve community engagement, and address social determinants of health while navigating challenges like recruitment and funding.
