Bringing It All Together

The Let’s Get Healthy California goals and indicators are designed to work together. Here are just a few examples of how the goals are interconnected.

Getting a healthy start sets the stage for health and wellbeing for a person’s entire life. This includes:

  • Living in a healthy environment before and while mom is pregnant,
  • Having access to health care and health insurance for both mom and baby,
  • Receiving care in a quality and coordinated health care system when the baby is born,
  • Understanding health risks and benefits for different delivery methods,
  • Receiving support for mom and baby when they come home.

As that baby grows into childhood and adolescence, factors such as the following will impact their life as an adult:

  • Being physically active and learning in safe schools and neighborhoods,
  • Having access to and eating and drinking healthy food and beverages,
  • Living in a home and community where youth are emotionally supported
