Health

Whether it is a neighbor without health insurance, a victim of abuse, or someone struggling with mental illness or an addiction, United Ways are working to ensure everyone has access to affordable and quality care.

Our Strategy

Achieving our goal requires us all to become more aware of health risks and the potential effects they have on ourselves and others, starting from before birth. Working to change policies and practices, such as extending health care coverage, will enable more people to live healthier lives.

United Way of San Luis Obispo County sits on the advisory boards for Tobacco Control Coalition, Adult Services Policy Council, SUSTAIN, ACTION for Healthy Communities, and SLO Veterans Services Collaborative.
