Chicago Department of Public Health Strategic Plan 2025
The Healthy Chicago 2025 Strategic Plan serves as a roadmap to address health inequities and promote wellbeing for all Chicagoans, specifically targeting the city's growing racial life expectancy gap. The plan is structured around seven distinct action plans and is guided by core themes of health equity, collaboration, and data-driven approaches. Key priority areas include Chronic Disease, Violence Prevention, Substance Use, Infectious Disease, Infant and Maternal Health, Mental Health, and Partnership, with a focus on Black Chicagoans and communities disproportionately impacted by premature mortality and historical disinvestment. The overarching vision is to create an equitable, safe, resilient, and healthy Chicago where everyone achieves optimal health and wellbeing.
