Tiếng Việt - Vietnamese | Orange County Needs You! Dear Community Member - The OC Health Care Agency’s (HCA) has published the Orange County Community Health Improvement Plan (OC CHIP) Plan update for 2024-26. The OC CHIP is a vital initiative designed to address the health needs and concerns of our community. It serves as a roadmap for improving health outcomes and promoting health equity for all residents. This plan was informed by population and neighborhood level data, which illustrated the disparities in health outcomes and disease burdens that exist by geography, race/ethnicity, gender, immigration status, sexual orientation, age, and ability. The community’s input was crucial in shaping this plan to reflect the diverse needs and priorities of Orange County. HCA used a comprehensive stakeholder process to develop the OC CHIP. We worked together with our community-based partners to form shared goals and strategies that reflect, honor, and uplift the voices of our historically marginalized communities. We are grateful to the community members who participated during this process, sharing their lived experience and ideas so that we can continue to improve the public’s health. Central to the development and implementation of all programs was the focus on community collaboration, cultural competence, and consumer- and family-driven services. Serving the unserved and underserved is a focus, in addition to wellness, recovery, and resilience.

This document was designed to support individuals participating in the development of the Orange County 2024-2026 Community Health Improvement Plan. This reference provides a summary of Community Health Assessment findings for each health condition or health determinant. This summary includes high- level data for related indicators, a brief discussion of known disparities, qualitative findings from the assessment, as well as mission statements for known current collaborative activities (not comprehensive). Existing county data for each condition or determinant is provided in the summary. These data provide Orange County’s status compared to California and the United States, as well as how we compared to Healthy People 2030 goals. Following each summary are detailed charts that reveal trends and/or disparities. | The 2020-22 Orange County Health Improvement Plan (PDF) 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. |
