Established in 1906, the Long Beach Department of Health and Human Services is celebrating 120 years of protecting and improving the health of the Long Beach community.

Our mission is to improve quality of life by promoting a safe and healthy community where people can live, work, learn and play

The Long Beach Department of Health and Human Services has protected and improved the health of the Long Beach community for 120 years. The department provides programs, services and resources that support the health and well-being of people throughout the city.

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.
