East Contra Costa Data Report

In May 2013, Contra Costa Health Services released a data report identifying the leading drivers of health disparities and high rates of chronic diseases in Bay Point, Pittsburg, and Antioch. As a result of the data, it was clear to numerous stakeholders that a collective effort was needed, and that by coordinating local efforts, sharing resources, and starting new initiatives, a significant positive impact can be made on the health of Pittsburg residents. Soon after the report's release, the Healthy and Livable Pittsburg Collaborative was formed.

HLPC has received support from Kaiser Permanente, The San Francisco Foundation and John Muir Health
