Community Health and Program Services (CHAPS) builds healthy communities and eliminates health disparities by providing national leadership in community health promotion and disease prevention through innovative programs, such as: Racial and Ethnic Approaches to Community Health Across the U.S. (REACH U.S.), the Preventive Health and Health Services (PHHS) Block Grant, State-Based Epidemiology for Public Health Programs (STEPPS), and YMCA's Pioneering Healthier Communities. These cross-cutting programs help expand CDC's ability to develop community-based health promotion strategies.
