CHAC Organizational Flowchart

The Citizens Health Advisory Council envisions that….

• our county is a statewide model for integrated health care in rural/resort areas;  
• a full system of affordable, patient-centered, high-quality, accessible and cost effective health care is available to all members of our diverse communities;
• providers and organizations work collaboratively to ensure such a system(s)  is in place; 
• our health care systems are patient-centered and honor the whole human within the context of family and community,  mind, body, emotions and spirit;  
• our health care systems  emphasize prevention, healthy lifestyles, social/personal responsibility and disease management; and
• all factors that influence health are considered including jobs, housing, education, the built environment and our natural resources.

• Link and collaborate with the La Plata County Health Care Alliance and give input to its activities.   
• Work to build capacity and momentum towards achieving the goals and projects published in the Community Health Care Capacity Project Plan (released May 2010).   
• Carry out education and outreach projects that build the public will to achieve our vision including keeping a Web site updated.
• Continue to host monthly meetings to communicate, collaborate and coordinate across individuals, organizations and sectors.
