The
County Health Status Profiles 2005 is prepared by the California Department
of Health Services in collaboration with the California Conference of
Local Health Officers, and is presented during California’s Public
Health Week. This report contains selected health status indicators
recommended by the U.S. Public Health Service for monitoring state and
local progress toward achieving some of the goals set forth in Healthy
People 2010. These goals challenge public health administrators
and professionals to focus on increasing the span of healthy life,
reducing health disparities, and ensuring access to preventive services.
The County Health Status
Profiles 2005 is available in Acrobat (PDF) format. To read this file, Adobe Acrobat Reader is needed.

Excel worksheets containing all of the health status indicator data for each individual county were
