Welcome to Healthy Mendocino
Connecting people and information
for better health
The goal of Healthy Mendocino is to improve the quality of life in our county. The website furthers this goal by encouraging informed dialogue about the actions local residents and organizations can take to improve community health. It contains information on a broad range of factors that affect health and well-being—everything from air quality to student achievement to poverty. In addition to the indicators on health and its influences, which are the heart of the website, Healthy Mendocino contains:
- background information;
- graphics showing comparisons and changes over time;
- feature stores, news stories, and reports;
- a community calendar;
- a link to the 211 directory of local services; and
- a database of promising practices from around the U.S.
This resource is overseen by the Healthy Mendocino Steering Committee and supported by a coalition of 20 community partners. Read more.

'Opportunity Index' Highlights Factors Affecting Health in Mendocino County
A new tool provides a snapshot of the economic opportunity and mobility available to residents of every U.S. state and nearly 2,500 U.S. counties, including Mendocino County. Opportunity Index scores are based on the quality and quantity of employment, health care availability, graduation rates, and community and civic engagement―all factors that can affect personal and community health. Released by Opportunity Nation and Measure of America, the Index also provides data on 14 indicators in 3 topic areas, plus composite scores in these areas and state and national comparisons.
