Our History

Founded in 2002, Chicago Partnership for Health Promotion (CPHP) was a unit of the Office of Community Engagement and Neighborhood Health Partnerships (OCEAN-HP) representing a network of community-based interventions designed to improve nutrition and reduce disparities in outcomes associated with nutritional diseases including obesity. CPHP provided high quality, age, gender and culturally tailored nutrition education in a variety of venues across the city.

CPHP’s Health Education Specialists and specially trained Community Nutrition Peer Educators (NPE) provide services through a dynamic network of partnerships including internal university partners and external partners, selected because of their unique capabilities, location and access to eligible participants in a variety of settings.

 

Our Vision

A world where individuals, families and communities are empowered to lead a healthy lifestyle.

 

Our Mission

To provide high quality nutrition education and health promotion programs, in partnership with SNAP eligible individuals, families and communities in Chicago.

 

Our Goal

CPHP’s goal was to bring healthy lifestyle messages into communities where Chicagoans live, work, eat and play.  We encouraged Chicago families to make healthier food choices, learn to prepare and consume healthier foods every day and be more physically active.

 

Nutrition Interventions

CPHP nutrition interventions actively engaged individuals in schools, parks, community clinics, and other locations throughout Chicagoland.
