San Joaquin County

In San Joaquin County, the Central California Regional Obesity Prevention Program (CCROPP) is working with schools, government officials, health care providers, community members and others to transform environments and establish new and improved policies that support healthy eating and active living.  CCROPP partners have formed community councils in each of the eight San Joaquin Valley counties to help address environmental and policy challenges to healthy eating and physical activity.

In San Joaquin County, the San Joaquin County Public Health Services and the Community Partnership for Families of San Joaquin, are working with community members and key stakeholders to:

1. Establish farmers markets, community gardens and markets with fresh foods in low-income neighborhoods.
2. Increase physical activity and physical education in San Joaquin County schools and after-school programs.
3. Create or improve parks, sidewalks, and other opportunities for physical exercise throughout San Joaquin County, including walking trails and bicycle lanes.
4. Support healthy food, physical activity policies and breastfeeding policies in the workplace, including government, private enterprises, community organizations and congregations.
5. Promote “smart growth” strategies to help create healthier communities.
6. And much more!

Get involved!

You can help to create communities that support healthy eating and active living. Together we can create a healthy environment in every San Joaquin County neighborhood.
