The mission and vision of the Whole Health Consortium at Virginia Tech align closely with CHIP of the Roanoke Valley's goals, as both organizations focus on improving health and well-being by addressing systemic challenges and providing equitable solutions.

CHIP's work centers on delivering healthcare access, early childhood education, and family support to ensure children and families that are under- or uninsured achieve better health and developmental outcomes. Similarly, the Whole Health Consortium aims to revolutionize systems, practices, and policies to create equitable health and well-being solutions, emphasizing a transdisciplinary approach.

Both organizations recognize that health is not solely a medical issue but also a product of interconnected systems, including education, socioeconomic conditions, and community support. By focusing on solutions that address systemic barriers and promote equity, both CHIP and the Consortium contribute to empowering individuals and communities to pursue meaningful, healthier lives. Their missions align in their shared commitment to leveraging expertise, collaboration, and innovation to create transformative change in health outcomes.
