Community Health Promotion Council

---

The Community Health Promotion Council (CHPC) ensures strategic integration of the public health process at the operational level. Chaired by the Senior Commander, the CHPC includes the Garrison Commander, Hospital Commander, Brigade Commanders, and appropriate subject matter experts from across the installation. The CHPC process integrates garrison, medical and mission efforts in support of the synchronization of health promotion, risk reduction, and suicide prevention programs.

The CHPC provides a mechanism to raise systemic issues and give Commanders the flexibility to balance readiness and quality of life, and ensures the efficient portfolio management of health promotion, risk reduction, and suicide prevention initiatives. The following describe the standard key components of the CHPC:

• Chaired by the Senior Commander and facilitated by a Health Promotion Officer
• Recurring representation from all installation service providers and tenant organizations and includes all tenant unit commanders.
  • Working Groups that represent the full spectrum of health promotion and resilience
  • Heath Promotion Teams (also known as Brigade Health Promotion Teams, Unit Resiliency Councils, etc.)
• Identifies goals and objectives to meet requirements established by Army Health Promotion (AR 600-63) and the HPRR Campaign Plan (Red and Gold Book), and develop an implementation plan for approval by the Senior Commander
• Provides feedback on policy implementation issues, current trends at the installation level, and recommendations for adjustments to priorities and resourcing.
• A forum to present best practices to be shared across the community and the Total Army
