Healthy Pennsylvania Partnership

The Healthy Pennsylvania Partnership (HPP) is a multi-sector collaboration that identifies key health challenges in Pennsylvania and works to solve them. Within the HPP there are three initiatives: the State Health Assessment (SHA), the State Health Improvement Plan (SHIP); and the Health Improvement Partnership Program. 

The current 2021-2022 annual calendar contains the annual schedule of meetings and purposes of each of the HPP committees. These include the partnership, executive committee, communications committee, SHA committee, and the SHIP taskforces.
