Led by the Tulsa Health Department, more than 65+ community partners, created the 2023-2028 Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP) for Tulsa County. The overall goal of the plan is to improve the health and well-being of Tulsa County residents in order to become the healthiest county in the United States.
Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP) for Tulsa County. The overall goal of the plan is to improve the health and well-being of Tulsa County residents in order to become the healthiest county in the United States. The CHIP is divided into three specific action plans to address the top three health concerns in Tulsa County.
Most importantly, this plan will address the social determinants of health: the conditions in the environments in which people are born, live, learn, work, play, worship, and age that affect a wide range of health, functioning and quality-of-life outcomes and risks. Development for this plan began in late 2020 and continued through January 2023, with input from residents and stakeholders in the public and private sector. The plan is a long-term, systemic effort to address public health problems based on the results of community health needs assessment activities and the community health improvement process.
We are very excited to share this plan with you – and make a difference in Tulsa County.

The year 2025 marks the first time the Tulsa Health Department has partnered with both Saint Francis Health System and Ascension St. John Medical Center to publish a joint Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA). Conducted every three years, the CHNA identifies the most pressing health challenges facing Tulsa County. Importantly, the assessment amplifies the community’s voice drawing on the lived experiences, concerns and priorities of residents to ensure the findings truly reflect the needs of those who live and work in the area. These insights then form the foundation for all stakeholders to collaboratively develop strategic plans aimed at addressing these vital health issues.
We have 9 locations across Tulsa County that offer a variety of services to help you and your family stay healthy.
