Social Isolation and Loneliness Awareness |
 |
Social isolation and loneliness are
on the rise across the United States. Nearly
one-quarter of Americans ages 65+ are considered to
be socially isolated, and a significant proportion
of adults in the US report feeling lonely.
To raise awareness about the impact of social
isolation on health and wellbeing, and the
importance of social connection, the County has
created Public Service Announcements (PSAs) to help
older Angelenos stay better connected.

Abortion is a Public Health Issue: Achieving Access and Equity |
 |
A Publication of the LACDPH Office of Women’s Health
Decades of evidence demonstrate that full-spectrum reproductive health care, including abortion, empowers people to make reproductive choices that are best for them, their families, and their futures; supports social and economic well-being; and prevents morbidity and mortality, especially among the most vulnerable members of our communities. In this report on abortion as a public health issue, the Office of Women’s Health describes why access to abortion is critical to health equity, reviews health policy around abortion, and recommends steps to address abortion and reproductive health equity in LA County.
