HEALTH EQUITY INITIATIVES: As a county health department, we provide low-cost clinical, dental, environmental health services to community members. We also provide free to low-cost health promotion and education services to help residents make healthy lifestyle decisions. to A few years ago, the Orange County Health Department established a working group called United Village of Orange (UVO) to ensure that staff was well equipped to deliver culturally competent care to the diverse groups of people entering our facilities on a daily basis.
