Since adopting the Strategic Plan, Health and Human Services staff have helped facilitate meetings with key stakeholders, community-based organizations, and interested members of the public in regards to Area #4, Healthy Communities.
This webpage reflects hours of dedicated work from a variety of key community partners throughout this region in executing Healthy Communities Strategic Goal 2.1: Improved health, well-being and self-sufficiency of El Dorado County communities, residents and visitors. The larger group of 2.1 stakeholders chose to make up 4 teams, each working diligently to produce an online resource for referral or linkage to available resources and tools that support a Healthy Community.
Each of the 4 objectives are unique, yet each one overlaps when considering that available resources may support multiple impacts in creating a healthy community. The specific objectives and their areas of focus can be found below. Each objective can be clicked to learn more regarding:
- What types of resources exist to support the objective;
- How to connect with available resources for individuals in need;
- What steps can a resident take to improve their personal health, and the health of the community
The Resource Map and Lists below reflect local program information that is administratively housed within WellDorado's website, and therefore at this time, additional map identifiers cannot be added. Where the agencies on the Resource Map and Lists were listed in the below objective tabs, an asterisk (*) is placed next to each agency or program to identify its presence on the Resource Map and Lists.
