Discover the New Live Well San Diego Children & Families
Data Hub!
For over 15 years, The Children’s Initiative has produced the Live Well San Diego Report Card on Children & Families. The Report Card has transitioned from a traditional print format to the Live Well San Diego Children & Families Data Hub. This new interactive web-based platform allows community members, stakeholders, and government entities to delve into data on 25 key health and well-being indicators—from Early Prenatal Care to Child Mortality. Dive deep into the data, uncover strengths, and identify critical areas for improvement. Together, we can transform the health and well-being of children, youth, and families in our community. Don’t wait—visit us today and be part of the change!
