Learn which issues are of greatest concern to the health of Mississippians, and link your efforts with existing work.
The State Health Improvement Plan (SHIP) helps groups and individuals from multiple sectors to work on a common set of issues in order to improve the health of Mississippians. Public health professionals can use the State Health Assessment (SHA) or SHIP to determine which issues are of greatest concern to the health of Mississippians. You can read a summary of the SHA/SHIP report, or in full here.
