On behalf of the Orange County Health Improvement Partnership (HIP), we are pleased to present the 2020-22 Orange County Health Improvement Plan (PDF). This plan was informed by a year-long community health assessment that found that while Orange County’s health, as a whole, continues to fare well compared to other areas, there are some troubling trends and disparities that impact our communities.
The HIP identified that improving health in Orange County requires a close look at the conditions that create health inequities. To that end, two of the six focus areas in this plan address overall system issues: Social Determinants of Health and Access and System Navigation. The remaining four areas highlight health topics identified as the most pressing to work on in the next three years: Health Promotion and Disease Prevention; Mental Health and Substance Use; Older Adult Health; and Sexual Health.
