Healthier San Joaquin County
Community Assessment Project Overview

In 2004, the San Joaquin County Community Health Assessment Collaborative (SJC2HAC) was formed to complete the Community Needs Assessment mandated by the State of California (SB697) which requires non-profit hospitals to document how they are serving their communities. The purpose of the Community Needs Assessment is to produce a functional and comprehensive community health profile. The overall goal of this report is to inform and engage local stakeholders and community members to promote collaborative efforts based on data, community input and group consensus in order to improve the health of local residents.  This report was updated most recently in 2013, click here to view.
