What is Chip
CHIP, an acronym for Coronary Health Improvement Project, is an affordable, 4-week lifestyle education program with thousands of graduates worldwide. It is sponsored by local, certified leadership; is community based; and has a strong, ongoing support system. CHIP encourages a close working relationship with one's personal physician.
Through dynamic and compelling live and video presentations, CHIP provides tools and strategies for making lifestyle choices that will stick. It delivers information, inspiration and motivation.CHIP is primarily available to the public in these three forms:
1. Live, city-wide programs conducted by Dr. Diehl in person
2. Corporate-sponsored video programs offered to employees
3. Community-based video programs offered by an increasing number of Churches across North America
The Escondido CHIP Chapter
We are committed to providing Escondido with a quality, scientifically proven, volunteer run program which, through a series of 16 sessions, can obtain the objective of assisting you in becoming Healthy by Choice, not by Chance.
How did we come into being? A number of years ago several of the people who will be assisting in the CHIP program and the alumni activities became interested in Lifestyle Medicine as a way of assisting our community in becoming healthier.
We attended a training session which provides instruction on how to run such a program. After that a “mini” series known as “micro-CHIP” was attended by 40 individuals so as to have additional people to help run CHIP.
We look forward to meeting you and working with you in your quest for optimal health.
