Founded in 1906, the Health Department continues to serve residents, families, businesses and community partners through public health programs, clinics and environmental health services.

Long Beach is one of only three city-operated health departments in California. This structure allows the City to work more closely with residents, neighborhoods, businesses and community partners while responding to local health needs.

The Health Department has more than 500 employees working across nine locations throughout the city. The department operates with an annual budget of approximately $117 million, with about 99% funded through federal, state, county and private sources

This local approach allows the Health Department to coordinate resources and services that support a healthier Long Beach community.
