To live well is to make healthy choices every day. To feel safe and secure at work, at school, at home and in your neighborhood. To have the highest possible quality of life.
Live Well San Diego is a vision for the San Diego region where individuals, organizations, and government all work together to improve the health, safety, and overall well-being for every one of the 3.3 million residents living in our county.
From coordinating the public health response to the coronavirus pandemic, to
You can take part in the vision by:
- Making Positive choices:
To help you achieve your goals for living well, LiveWellSD.org can connect you to Live Well San Diego Signature Events to improve heart health, mental health and physical health and connect you to nature, like with our upcoming Trails Challenge.. - Participating in Live Well San Diego Recognized Partner programs:
With over 500 official partners, LiveWellSD.org can help connect you to partner services, programs and events, just like the Science and Engineering Festival hosted by Biocom Institute. - Contributing to improve the quality of life of those around you:
If you are looking for a way to help your community live well, then LiveWellSD.org can help connect you to opportunities to volunteer your time and talents to help all San Diegans be healthy, safe and thriving.
Whether you are looking to make changes in your own life or want to lend your voice to create change for the greater good, Live Well San Diego needs leadership from both individuals and organizations to bring about positive change. Over 500 organizations have committed to the vision, so that wherever you live, work, play or pray, an organization or individual is nearby and working to improve your well-being and the health of your community.
Our impact:
The Live Well San Diego vision was launched in 2010 as a response to a startling statistic that found that throughout the nation and locally three behaviors (poor nutrition, lack of physical activity and tobacco use) were contributing to four diseases (heart disease/stroke, cancer, type-2 diabetes and respiratory conditions) that resulted in over 50% of the deaths in the nation (3-4-50: Chronic Disease in San Diego County). In San Diego County, these diseases were responsible for 57% of all deaths in 2007.
Over the last 10 years, efforts in support of the Live Well San Diego vision have driven a 12% reduction in the percentage of deaths associated with preventable health threats (2019).
Together, we can do more than each of us can do alone. Join us!
Thank you:
The County of San Diego is the backbone organization that supports and guides the Live Well San Diego vision. Thank you to the County’s Land Use and Environmental Group teams (Agriculture, Weights and Measures; Environmental Health & Quality; County Parks; Public Works), San Diego County Library and Health and Human Services Agency for their contributions to this event!
