About Us
SLO Health Counts is a collaborative of community members, nonprofits, government agencies, cities, schools, and leaders in SLO County working together toward the shared goal of a healthy, thriving community.
We view this website as a tool to inform, inspire, and initiate dialogue about the health assets we strive to protect and the health challenges we face in our county. We invite you to be part of this dialogue and welcome your input on this resource.
History
SLO Health Counts builds on a long-standing tradition of community collaboration to advance health and wellness in San Luis Obispo County, including the pioneering efforts of Healthy Eating Active Living (HEAL SLO) and ACTION for Healthy Communities, which first launched this work in the 1990s. We extend our sincere gratitude to the many community members, partners, and leaders whose dedication has helped make this work possible.
Vision
A healthy, equitable, and thriving community.
