The Healthy Chula Vista Initiative's primary goal is to provide residents with tools to lead a healthier lifestyle. The City in partnership with a variety of agencies throughout the community intend to respond to identified barriers to healthy living options in the City and collaborate on events and efforts to promote health and well-being in the community.  Policy will be guided by the Healthy Chula Vista Advisory Commission which was formed in March 2016.

 

Over the next several years the city will make efforts in six focus areas identified through community stakeholder efforts to build strategic partnerships and seek funding opportunities to support strategies in the Healthy Chula Vista Action Plan. The City has completed or is currently working on strategies in the following focus areas:
