Improving the Health and Well-being of all Californians
The County Health Executives Association of California (CHEAC) is a statewide organization
of county and city Health Department and Agency Directors, who are responsible for
the administration, oversight, and delivery of a broad range of local public health
and indigent health care services. Members represent a variety of administrative
and health professional disciplines.
CHEAC is dedicated to the promotion, protection, and improvement of the health of
California's population. The organization's objective is to maximize local health
departments' financial, organizational, and programmatic capacity to deliver local
health services. To accomplish this, CHEAC:
- Promotes effective public policy through legislative, state budget, and administrative
advocacy.
- Evaluates program structures, including administrative and fiscal elements, and
educates policy makers on strategies to successfully deliver local health services.
- Collaborates with key health and professional organizations to further our common
health improvement goals.
