Local Oral Health Program (LOHP)
In 2018, Siskiyou County received funding from the California Department of Public Health to establish a Local Oral Health Program. This new funding was made possible by the enactment of Proposition 56, the California Healthcare, Research and Prevention Tobacco Tax of 2016 that levied an additional $2 tax on tobacco and tobacco products.
With guidance from State Oral Health Program, the Siskiyou County LOHP is tasked with conducting activities at the local level that support the California Oral Health Plan (COHP), which aims to improve the oral health of all Californians.
If you have any questions about the LOHP or would like more information on oral health, feel free to call us at 530-841-2134 or email us at phinfo@co.siskiyou.ca.us
The goals of the LOHP are:
- Improving access to and utilization of dental services
- Oral health education and public awareness
- Integration of dental and medical care
- Coordination of countywide efforts
