The State Health Assessment (SHA) is a comprehensive and actionable picture of health and wellbeing in Ohio. The purpose of the SHA is to: 

• Inform identification of priorities in the State Health Improvement Plan (SHIP)
• Provide a template for state agencies and local partners, with a uniform set of categories and metrics to use in related assessments 

The SHA was released on September 9, 2019 and the SHIP will be released in late 2019. The purpose of the SHIP is to: 

• Provide state agency leaders, local health departments, hospitals and other partners with a strategic menu of priorities, objectives and evidence-based strategies to address shared priority health issues
• Spur partnership with sectors beyond health
