Live Well San Diego

On November 21, 2024, the County of San Diego's Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA) in partnership with the San Diego County Office of Education (SDCOE) co-hosted the annual School Summit on Student Engagement and Attendance (Summit) at the Live Well Advance.

This annual conference brings together several thousand Live Well San Diego partners and others to learn together and collaborate on common efforts.

The Summit began with a Superintendents’ Breakfast attended by more than 70 individuals in leadership from HHSA and school districts representing all regions of San Diego County. 

A prime example of a partnership to promote healthy schools is the collaboration between the County of San Diego Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA) and the San Diego County Office of Education (SDCOE) that began in 2016 with the Annual Summit on Student Engagement and Attendance. In 2017 and 2018, HHSA co-hosted the Summit with SDCOE at a larger venue and coordinated a Wellness Provider Fair and breakout sessions. Beginning in 2019, the co-hosted Summit joined the successful Live Well Advance, an annual celebration of the progress and partners of Live Well San Diego. HHSA and SDCOE continue to collaborate on the School Summit at the Live Well Advance, attracting hundreds of attendees with multiple breakout sessions and networking opportunities.

HHSA and SDCOE continue their valuable collaboration to support healthy school environments and provide resources to schools and districts. This growing partnership has resulted in an alignment of priorities and stronger ties between SDCOE, schools, HHSA, and community programs and services.
