Health indicators represent one available tool for monitoring the overall health of
the population, and for communicating with the public about key opportunities for
health improvement. Every 2-3 years, the Office of
Health Assessment and Epidemiology compiles and presents
data from the Los Angeles County Health Survey and from
other public health programs in the Key Indicators of
Health Report. The data describe the status of health in
the County's eight Service Planning Areas, highlighting
opportunities for health improvement in each local area.
In addition, in collaboration with the Office of Women's
Health, in 2007 data were compiled describing Health
Indicators for Women in Los Angeles County, by
race/ethnicity and by health insurance status. These
reports were designed to be shared with concerned
community groups, such as health care providers,
schools, neighborhoods, and non-profit and business
associations, to help us work together toward achieving
better health for all.
