Public Health Services (PHS) promotes health and improves quality of life by preventing disease, injury and disability and by protecting against, and responding to health threats and disasters. This section explores data related to this mission for all seven branches of PHS - six programmatic and one administrative.
Each branch determined a health equity goal prior to the PHS Strategic Plan 23-24 and 24-25. The Health Equity Goal is the priority that each branch adopted to address concerns about inequities. The Health Equity White Papers delve into each goal, providing methods utilized to reduce and resolve the various inequities, current data, and a discussion regarding the existing landscape, with recommendations for improvement.
The topics of the papers are:
- California Children’s Services - Health Equity: Transition to Adulthood Planning
- Epidemiology and Immunization Services - Health Equity: Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention
- HIV, STDs, and Hepatitis Branch - Health Equity: Addressing Rising Rates of STIs and Preventing HIV Infections
- Maternal, Child, and Family Health Services - Health Equity: Reducing African-American Infant Mortality
