Now Available! Community Health Assessment and Community Health Improvement Plan
To our health
For over a century, SLO County nonprofits and governmental agencies have worked together to make our community as healthy as possible. From Nipomo to San Miguel and beyond, we strive to create safe and healthy places to live, work, learn and play. This site provides key data and information about these opportunities for health, and the challenges we can work together to overcome.
