Community Health Assessment

A Community Health Assessment informs a broad audience — community health centers, government agencies, philanthropy, community-based organizations, civic leaders and the general public — about the top health issues facing our community. It helps us determine how to most effectively direct limited resources and where to find assets we can leverage to make positive change.

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.

To see the full plan, including specific goals and activities, visit www.slohealthcounts.org/key-priorities.
