Our Mission
Our Vision
Optimal health and well-being for Sacramento County communities!
Protect Yourself Against the Flu
Flu activity is already widespread in California, earlier than typically seen for the flu season. Protect yourself and help prevent the further spread of the flu by getting vaccinated now.
The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) has issued a health advisory urging everyone to refrain from vaping, no matter the substance or source, until current investigations are complete. See the health advisory issued by CDPH for more information.
The County's Tobacco Education Program provides helpful cessation resources.
Be Alert: Certain Skin Creams May Contain Mercury
Mercury has been found in certain foreign brand, unlabeled, and/or homemade skin creams, causing severe disease in those using the skin cream as well as family members. Learn more about these skin creams and what you should do if you've been using them:

Prepare Now to Limit Exposure to Wildfire Smoke
Smoky conditions from wildfires can create poor air quality. This can create unhealthy conditions, especially for those with chronic health conditions. Learn what you can do to prepare before the next smoke event happens.
