State Health Assessment & Improvement Plan

There is a lot of great work already happening across Vermont that contributes to achieving the goals of the State Health Improvement Plan. We invite organizations leading this work to be partners in implementing the Plan. This is a unique opportunity to highlight your work and help tell the story of how we are working to achieve our state health goals. 

Updates on implementing the Plan will be shared in annual reports available to the public, legislators, and other interested groups. The Plan is also a tool for partners to guide improvements to their programs or advocate for policies and resources that support their work. 

There are different ways to be an implementation partner. You can choose what works best for your program or organization:

• Share an activity you’re already doing: Include one or more activities underway at the organization that can be highlighted in the State Health Improvement Plan.
• Share data for performance accountability: Include one or more program performance measures you are tracking and could report in a public dashboard.
• Champion or implement a new activity: Identify a new activity you would like to lead, such as implementing or improving a program or advocating for a policy that supports the state’s goals.
• Join a workgroup: meet monthly to collaborate with and learn from other state agencies, community organizations, and individuals with lived expertise around successes, challenges, and opportunities in implementing the State Health Improvement Plan.
