What is the Safe Healthcare Project?
The Safe Healthcare Project is a public health education campaign to increase community knowledge of the availability of safe and legitimate healthcare services, and the dangers of receiving healthcare and prescription medication from unlicensed providers.

History
In response to the recent deaths of two infants who received illegal prescription medicines and fraudulent medical care, the Orange County Health Care Agency developed the Safe Healthcare Project under the direction of the County Board of Supervisors and in collaboration with the Safe Healthcare Coalition.
