Community Health Assessment (2023-2025)

The Yolo County Health and Human Service Agency’s (HHSA) Public Health Branch has released the 2023-25 Community Health Assessment (CHA). The CHA includes information about the overall health of residents in the county and identifies eleven significant health needs. A CHA is released every three years. It is used to help the County, alongside community, and partners, make decisions about how to improve health outcomes for residents. The CHA also contains information about the social determinants of health, such as education and income levels, and how they impact the health of various groups in the county. The Executive Summary is available in English, Spanish, and Russian:
