Community Health Programs (CHP) grew out of the Childhood Immunization Program (CHIP) that began in 1994. The multi-county CHIP program, which travels to isolated rural areas in a 40-foot van, was designed to reach children in 21 Southeast Ohio counties. As the program grew, so grew the realization that many other unmet health needs exist in our area. As a result, Community Health Programs was formed in early 1996 to help meet these needs. A second mobile unit was added in 2001, allowing additional services to be offered in Southeastern Ohio counties. Last year the Community Health Programs office at OU-HCOM provided thousands of dollars worth of free or low cost health care services to the residents of the area.
