  6. Orange County Health Care Agency • The Health Care Agency is a regional provider, charged with protecting and promoting individual, family and community health through coordination of public and private sector resources. • http://ochealthinfo.com/ • HCA's service environment is complex, with 180 different funding sources and over 200 State and Federal mandates. The mandates under which HCA operates require the County to provide for, or to regulate, certain health services. Many also carry specific requirements for staffing, operations, claiming and record-keeping. • http://www.epi.uci.edu/media/docs/cspoc/AnnualReport/OC/orange.htm

  7. Many of HCA's services are preventive in nature and therefore are not readily apparent to the public. Some examples of services include: • food protection • hazardous waste regulation • protection from animal-related diseases • water quality monitoring and pollution prevention • mental health services • alcohol and drug abuse services • preventive health services for the aging • healthcare for incarcerated individuals • communicable disease control • child health and disability program • Immunizations • public health field nursing and public health clinics.
