Regional Public Health Office Regions

The Regional Public Health Office map was created in collaboration with health officials from various areas in California during the COVID-19 response. Additionally, we carefully considered and incorporated valuable feedback from local health partners. RPHO has a dedicated team that works closely with these regions to ensure seamless coordination, effective communication, data analysis and efficient operations.

The regions we cover include Rural North, Greater Sierra Sacramento, Bay Area, Central California, Southern California and Los Angeles. Each region comprises specific counties and cities. This strategic approach enables us to tailor our efforts to meet the unique needs of each area, providing robust support to their communities.
