The California Department of Public Health’s (CDPH) mission is to transform public health in California into a modernized public health system with the goal of protecting and improving the health of all Californians.
CDPH envisions a Healthy California for All where every individual belongs to a strong and thriving community, as well as a strong local public health infrastructure in all communities to address health disparities and social determinants of health, such that we foster the conditions in which everyone can be healthy regardless of race, ethnicity, gender identity,
sexual orientation, geography, or income level.
