Disease Reporting
The SCPH Outbreak Reporting page includes instructions for reporting disease cases and outbreaks. Please use this module in lieu of previous reporting mechanisms.
Fentanyl and Other Opioids
Increased availability and misuse of opioids, including fentanyl, are of growing concern. Sacramento County Public Health encourages schools to develop and implement naloxone policies to have the overdose reversal drug available for use in an emergency. Learn more in the memo from the Public Health Officer to local school Superintendents regarding fentanyl and naloxone. Visit the Sacramento County Opioid Coalition and Sacramento County Substance Use, Prevention, and Treatment Services for additional information and resources.
Immunizations
Timely immunizations help protect children before they are exposed to potentially life-threatening diseases. Our Immunization Assistance Program has resources for parents and schools on their program webpage.
Mental Illness: It's not always what you think
Mental illness impacts every ethnic, racial, economic, religious and age group. Roughly one in every five adults will experience a diagnosable mental health condition during their lifetime. Many never seek help or treatment because of the stigma, discrimination or shame they experience. However, with education, support and treatment, people can—and do—recover and live fulfilling lives. Learn more at stopstigmasacramento.orgFor additional youth mental health information and resources, visit Sacramento County Division of Behavioral Health Services.
Oral Health
Our Oral Health Program has resources for school partners and information on the Kindergarten Oral Health Assessment.
Sexual Health
Our Sexual Health Promotion Unit has sexual health resources for youth and operates the Sexual Health Clinic at 4600 Broadway.
