Change is the only constant.

In our last Becoming ChangeLine blog post, Where We’ve Been, we covered our history as Community Health Partnership (CHP) and how the collaboration that brought it to life sparked a regional movement that still exists today.

Since our founding, we’ve changed in response to the natural shifts happening within the community. In the words of our CEO Amber Ptak, “Systems are changing all day, and the point of our work is to change those systems in a way that benefits the people who the systems are failing.”

Change is in our name now—but it has always been part of our story.

For more than three decades, we’ve walked alongside our community under the name Community Health Partnership (CHP). Founded in 1992 by a visionary group of healthcare leaders, our organization began with a simple but radical idea: the best way to improve health was to work together.

After more than 30 years as Community Health Partnership (CHP), we’ve stepped into a new chapter with a new name: ChangeLine, a civic hub that brings people, ideas, and organizations together to take on challenges too big for any one group to solve alone.

ChangeLine’s (formerly Community Health Partnership’s or CHP) mission is to transform the way people work together to solve challenges affecting the health of communities. The issues ChangeLine engages in are not only complex, they are also chaotic. There are no simple solutions and decisions are never obvious.
