With summer temperatures on the rise, the County of San Diego has officially launched its annual Cool Zones program—a free public resource offering over 80 air-conditioned locations throughout the region to help residents escape the extreme heat.

Running through October 31, Cool Zones provide safe, comfortable spaces for individuals—particularly older adults, people with disabilities, and those with health conditions—to stay cool and reduce the risk of heat-related illnesses.

Civitas’s Annual Conference brings together hundreds of passionate industry leaders, decision-makers, and innovators to discuss interoperability, data-driven quality improvement, social determinants of health, public health, multistakeholder and community-led governance, and health outcomes. Civitas’ members and network serve as the bridge between “data” and “doing” in health and health care. Attendees choose the conference to foster deep connections, strengthen and build new partnerships, and leave with tangible ways to evolve their national, state, regional, and local initiatives.

Representatives will join us from regional and state HIEs, RHICs, CIEs, QIOs, health data organizations, CBOs, federal, state, and local governments, and business and technology partners.
