Welcome to the Carver County Health Partnership (CCHP) web site!Mission StatementTo improve the health and well-being of all who live and work in Carver County by building "Communities for a Lifetime." Vision StatementCarver County will be the healthiest county in the USA. OverviewWhen Carver County Community Health Services (now Carver County Public Health) and Ridgeview Medical Center brought together organizations and leaders from around the county in 2000, the stakes were high. A review of the county's health data revealed pressing needs in the areas of teen alcohol and tobacco use, children's mental health, adult wellness and senior health. Addressing these challenges would require both focus and collaboration over the long-term. It would require action, commitment and community members willing to roll up their sleeves. The Carver County Health Partnership (CCHP) was born from the belief that working together, citizens can create healthy communities in which to work and play. In the years since its inception, the CCHP has touched the lives of thousands of Carver County residents. Our ability to continue this effort requires expanding the commitment of cities, businesses, non-profit groups and others who believe in the importance of healthy communities. We invite you to learn more about the Carver County Health Partnership. We ask that you consider the role you and your organization can play in helping the CCHP to achieve its vision of Carver County as the healthiest county in America.
