Summary:

Communities throughout the United States are increasingly engaged in the process of measuring health in order to address pressing health care needs, develop better programs and policies, and to improve the quality of life of their residents. These initiatives have resulted in the development of detailed health reports and shorter report cards at state and community levels., In many instances, state and local communities have used these reports to launch either wide scale and/or targeted health improvement initiatives. In the spirit of further developing innovative means for measuring the health of communities, we created the California Health Report. The California Health Report measures the health of California's population from a new perspective.
