Healthy Chicago 2025 is Chicago’s five-year community health improvement plan that focuses on racial and health equity to meet our goal of reducing the Black-white life expectancy gap. Healthy Chicago drives efforts to address health inequities in the most impacted communities and promote greater wellbeing for all Chicagoans. The Chicago Department of Public Health prioritizes health equity, collaboration, and data-driven approaches to serve the health needs of all Chicagoans. In 2025, CDPH will pilot a cumulative impact model to tackle complex public health dilemmas by layering cross-cutting programs and collaborations in five priority community areas. The Healthy Chicago 2025 Strategic Plan is comprised of seven individual actions plans designed to address key drivers of the city’s growing racial life expectancy gap.
