Tell us about your Health and Wellness Needs

There is still time to take the City of Irvine's health and wellness survey. The City of Irvine is conducting a survey to learn about the current and future health and wellness needs of its residents. The focus of this survey is mental health and substance use in our community.

Irvine residents 18 and older are invited to participate in the online survey from now through Thursday, August 3, by visiting polco.us/irvinewellness2023. 

The City of Irvine partnered with Polco to conduct the survey, and all information collected is confidential and no identifying information will be shared. This survey was also sent in the mail to a random sampling of residents; if you received a survey in the mail, please use that information to complete the survey. It is available in eight languages: English, Arabic, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Farsi, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, and Vietnamese. To access the survey in additional languages, use the drop-down menu atop the survey page.

We appreciate your participation in the survey. Your input and experiences will help the City develop a multi-year health and wellness plan that offers services and resources to best support our residents and community.

For additional information or questions about the survey, please call For Families at 949-724-6650 or visit cityofirvineorg/healthandwellness. To learn more about the City’s Health and Wellness efforts, visit cityofirvine.org/healthandhumanservices.

National Disability Independence Day & Disability Pride Month

During its meeting July 25, the Irvine City Council proclaimed July 26 as Americans with Disabilities Act Awareness Day. On July 26, 1990, President George H.W. Bush signed into law the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) to ensure the civil rights of people with disabilities. This legislation established a clear and comprehensive national mandate for the elimination of discrimination against individuals with disabilities.

The City of Irvine affirms the principles of equality and inclusion for those with disabilities as set forth by the State of California and ordinances of the City of Irvine. Numerous organizations in the City of Irvine work with constituents and communities to bring forth the promise of hope and freedom that is envisioned by the passage of the ADA. 

The City of Irvine is an Equal Opportunity Employer and provides reasonable accommodations to qualified individuals with disabilities.
