Welcome to the future location of SFHIP.org!
 
 
Health Matters in San Francisco is changing to SFHIP. If you have been redirected from SFHIP.org, please read on for more information or click here.
 
What is SFHIP?
The San Francisco Health Improvement Partnership (SFHIP) is a cross-sector collaboration designed to improve the health and wellness of all San Franciscans. SFHIP combines into one aligned framework the efforts of three successful community health improvement collaborators: San Francisco's non-profit hospitals and their Community Benefits Partnership (CBP) and Building a Healthier San Francisco (BHSF) projects; the Clinical and Translational Science Institute at the University of California (CTSI), San Francisco, which supported the first phase of SFHIP; and the San Francisco Department of Public Health and its community health improvement process.
 
What will SFHIP do? 
Motivated by a common vision, values, and community-identified health priorities, SFHIP will drive community health improvement efforts in San Francisco. The road map for SFHIP is San Francisco's Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP), the development process for which engaged close to 700 community residents and local public health system partners. The CHIP identifies San Francosco's shared health priorities:
  • Ensure Safe + Healthy Living Environments
  • Increase Healthy Eating + Physical Activity
  • Increase Access to High Quality Health Care + Services
The CHIP also identifies goals, objectives, measures, and strategies for each priority. Building on this foundation, SFHIP will "move the needle" on community health in the next three to five years, and future iterations of the CHIP will drive SFHIP going forward.
 
What will change?
HealthMattersinSF.org will change to SFHIP.org. Over the next few months you will notice changes to the URL and some subtle changes to the look and feel of the site. Over the next year, this website will become the new SFHIP.org and serve to provide information regarding SFHIP's new struture. Founded on the concept of Collective Impact, SFHIP's formal structure is designed to ensure better coordination, accountability, community engagement, and improved community health and wellness:
  • The Vision Council will serve as SFHIP's champions;
  • The Steering Committee will be SFHIP's governing body;
  • The Partnership will be a representative membership body that will involve community to plan for action citywide health priorities; and
  • Work Groups will be open, participatory, action-oriented bodies that focus on specific health issues or programs related to San Francisco's identified health priorities.
