  • EPLAN 2016-2021 Community Health Assessment
    EPLAN: Creating A Healthier Evanston, Community Health Assessment Page 1 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS A thank you to the members of the Mobilizing for Action through Planning and Partnerships (MAPP) Operations Team and the Evanston Health Advisory Council for all of their work and input into the EPLAN: Creating a Healthier Evanston Community Health Assessment and Improvement Plan. The development of this plan could not have been done without them. Thanks also to all of the MAPP Operations Team members, who were integral in planning and executing all of the assessments; Brina Auguste, Carl Caneva, Dr. Bruce Doblin, Christina Ferguson, Elizabeth Lassiter, Indira Perkins, Charlotte Picard, Kristin Preihs, Maitreyi Sistla, and Dr. Don Zeigler. Sincerely, Evonda Thomas-Smith, City of Evanston Health & Human Services Department, Director EPLAN: Creating A Healthier Evanston, Community Health Assessment Page 2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In order for the City of Evanston’s Health and Human Services Department to recertify as one of the four recognized local municipal health departments, the Illinois Department of Public Health requires a local assessment and strategic health plan for the next five years. Illinois refers to this process as IPLAN, the Illinois Project for Local Assessment of Needs. While local health departments conduct their own needs assessments, the state uses the findings from the local processes to conduct a state-wide needs assessment and develop a plan for the entire State of Illinois. In Evanston, we refer to our local process as EPLAN, the Evanston Process for the Local Assessment of Needs. EPLAN is designed to prioritize top health needs so that public health resources can be directed most effectively toward health improvement.
