Community Health Investment Program (CHIP)

The Community Health Investment Program (CHIP) provides grants to organizations that, like the hospital, are working to improve the health of the people in north central Kansas.

Salina Regional Health Center established the program in 1995, and it continues to provide the primary funding. The Salina Regional Health Foundation manages the program.

To date, more than $13 million has been awarded in CHIP grants since the program was first established. Grant recipients have included Martin Luther King, Jr. Child Development Center, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Salina, Ottawa County Health Planning Commission, Teen Town (The City), Lindsborg Community Hospital, and others.
