Four Mile Run Alexandria

The goal of the Partnership for a Healthier Alexandria is to improve the health and well-being of everyone who lives, works and plays in Alexandria. This goal is achieved by facilitating and supporting community action to address Alexandria’s Community Health Improvement Plan’s priorities.

Alexandria Community Health Improvement Plan 2025

The Alexandria Community Health Improvement Plan is a five-year plan to improve the health and well-being of everyone in Alexandria. The 2025 Plan builds upon the successes and lessons learned from the development and implementation of the prior five-year plan. The Alexandria Community Health Improvement Plan was created through extensive community conversations, forums and direction. The Plan’s three priority areas--housing, mental health and poverty—were selected by the community from among the top 10 health issues identified in Alexandria’s 2019 Community Health Assessment.

Click below to learn more about the three priority areas in the Plan and the related strategies and tactics to successfully address these priority areas.

Every six months, the joint Alexandria Health Department/Partnership for a Healthier Alexandria Monitoring and Evaluation Team will provide a community progress report with progress updates on the Community Health Improvement Plan's strategies and tactics progress. Please read the Spring 2023 Progress Report and the Spring 2023 Progress Report Appendix.

In 2019, an opportunity presented itself when the timing of revisions to three major city-related plans coincided--the ACPS’ Strategic Plan (ACPS 2025), the Department of Community and Human Services’ Children and Youth Community Plan 2025, and the Alexandria Health Department and the Partnership for a Healthier Alexandria’s Community Health Improvement Plan. These organizations established a Unified Planning Team to collectively develop these plans, increasing the opportunity to maximize collective community engagement, share important data, and focus on shared outcomes.

The Unified Planning team evolved into the Unified Implementation Team to work on implementing overlapping areas of their respective plans. To read more about the work and reports on their progress please go to the Unified Implementation Team's website

The Partnership for a Healthier Alexandria Grants provide funding to a select number of qualified organizations to advance specific goals and strategies in the Alexandria Community Health Improvement Plan 2025. For more specific information about the grant process, cycle and information on grantees, please go to the Grants page

One of the most important aspects about the Alexandria Community Health Improvement Plan is that it was developed, and it will be implemented by the Alexandria community. To join in the action to improve the health and well-being of everyone in Alexandria, please sign up.
