MISSION AND VISION OF EDEN HEALTH DISTRICT
▪ Our mission is to improve the health of the community by providing access to direct and indirect care services and health education. ▪ We prioritize improving the health outcomes of our most vulnerable residents by working closely with community and public agencies through prevention, health education, and rapid response to emerging threats.
**********
▪ Through research of health systems within the district and public health data we have identified priority areas in need as south Hayward, and unincorporated areas of Ashland/Cherryland and San Lorenzo. ▪ Our testing and vaccination pandemic efforts have focused in those areas while disseminating health information throughout the District..
THE EVENTS OF 2020 AND BEYOND DEMONSTRATED THE CONTINUING VALUE OF HAVING AN INDEPENDENT HEALTHCARE DISTRICT SUPPORTING THE EDEN AREA.
THE DISTRICT HAS TAKEN A LEAD ROLE IN THE FOLLOWING:
▪ COVID-19 response including contributing $700,000 in financial support for testing, education and vaccination efforts
▪ Providing health resources and ongoing communications about COVID19 ▪ Created community partnerships and acted as healthcare advisors for COVID-19 clinics
