The mission of the Florida Department of Health is to protect, promote, and improve the health of all people in Florida through integrated state, county, and community efforts. We carry out this mission through organized, interdisciplinary efforts to address the physical, mental, and environmental health concerns of communities.
The Florida Department of Health in Volusia County (DOH-Volusia) actively engages the county's citizens and stakeholders in assessing and planning to improve the health of the community. We use the Community Health Needs Assessment and the Community Health Improvement Plan to:
- Identify health problems and priorities and assess and monitor the health of communities and populations at risk.
- Assure access to appropriate and cost-effective care, including health promotion and disease prevention services with an evaluation of the effectiveness of that care.

A community health improvement plan is a living document intended to be updated annually. It is a systematic effort to address public health problems in a community.
The CHIP is based on the results of a community health assessment. It is one part of a four-part plan-do-study-act process designed to improve community health. The CHIP is the community’s plan – not the county health department’s plan for the community.
