Community Health Assessment
What makes it easier or more difficult to live a healthy life in SLO County?
That question, and more, drove the work to create the 2023 San Luis Obispo County Community Health Assessment, an interactive report detailing key indicators of community health such as life expectancy, chronic and infectious disease rates, access and barriers to care, and more.
Community Health Improvement
San Luis Obispo County is home to a vast and diverse range of dedicated individuals and organizations working to create a healthy and vibrant future for our community. The Community Health Improvement Plan describes how those diverse individuals and organizations will work together to improve our community’s health over the course of 5 years. It sets forth what we will strive to achieve and provides a road map for how we plan to achieve it. It identifies priority health issues, establishes measurable objectives for improvement and coordinates resources to achieve those objectives.
