When all the major healthcare organizations in the county come together to address gaps in health services, we all benefit. This is the power of BCHIP!
About BCHIP
BCHIP was established over 25 years ago with support from our Bucks County Hospitals, The Bucks County Department of Health and the Bucks County Medical Society with a shared vision of improving the health in Bucks County. These organizations continue to identify opportunities to coordinate their efforts to identify gaps in services and identify resources to address these gaps.
