Ways to Celebrate CHI Week

Spread the Word

• Engage your communications department and include CHI Week on your organization’s content calendar.
• Work with your media relations team to pitch a letter to the editor or op-ed about the importance of addressing societal factors that influence health of individuals and community — to advance health equity and increase public awareness.
• Create content such as blog posts, digital banners, flyers or even a short video highlighting your organization's community health improvement work. Tell us about the initiatives you run and we may share your stories to inspire others!

Get Social

• Create social media posts to share before and during CHI Week, including #CHIWeek in all posts. Feature photos, videos, graphics, articles (either new or already published) and webpages highlighting your organization’s community health initiatives.
• Host a live social media event with key community partners to discuss the work you are doing together.
• Let a community partner “take over” your social media account during CHI Week.
• Check out the CHI Week digital engagement toolkit for ready-to-use graphics and sample social media posts and newsletter copy.

Celebrate and Learn Together

Plan an event — in person or virtual — to increase awareness of your organization’s community and population health work, such as:

• Lunch and learn
• Facilitated discussion, often called a fireside chat
• Community service outing
• Community tour of partner facility

We encourage you to snap pictures and videos of your on-site celebrations and share them on social media during CHI Week using #CHIWeek. Be sure to follow your organization’s protocol for the capture and use of photos or videos.

Say ‘Thanks’

• Create a recognition award and present it to an individual or community partner.
• Send thank-you notes to project partners acknowledging their collaborative work to improve community health.
