Summary

Health begins where people live, learn, work, and play (as known as social determinants of health). Get Healthy San Mateo County (GHSMC) is a product of the Healthy Communities Initiative launched in 2004. During the last 20 years we have made great progress in preventing diseases and ensuring that all San Mateo County (SMC) residents have the opportunity to live long and healthy lives. Despite progress made, health inequities persist with lower-income residents and people of color experiencing higher rates of infection and disproportionate health, social, and economic burdens. However, many chronic health issues and inequities in health outcomes can be prevented by building healthy, equitable communities with a focus on place-based upstream prevention, early intervention, and health equity.
