Mission Statement

Contra Costa Health Services is dedicated to enhancing the health of all county residents, emphasizing support for the most vulnerable. Recent data reveals significant health challenges, including a high rate of childhood asthma hospitalizations and childhood obesity. The community food environment showcases an overwhelming dominance of fast-food options, with only a small percentage of supermarkets and farmers markets. Our strategic approach integrates policy influence, community mobilization, and quality healthcare access to improve overall public health. Universal health coverage is essential for achieving lasting change.
