Building a Healthier Illinois: Inside SHA and SHIP

Welcome to a brand new season of This is Public Health!

In this episode, we explore Healthy Illinois 2028, a transformative initiative aimed at improving health and advancing equity across the state. Comprised of the State Health Assessment (SHA) and the State Health Improvement Plan (SHIP), Healthy Illinois 2028 is a collaborative effort to align resources, processes, and priorities for maximum impact.

Join us as we discuss how SHA and SHIP work together to address public health challenges, engage communities, and build a healthier future for all Illinoisans. We're joined in this episode by Karen Phelan, Chair of the State Board of Health and Jenny Epstein, Deputy Director of IDPH's Office of Policy, Planning, and Statistics.
