OASH Regional Offices
Region 9
The Region 9 Office, based in San Francisco, California, serves Arizona, California, Hawaii (HI), Nevada, American Samoa (AS), the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (MP), the Federated States of Micronesia (FM), Guam (GU), the Republic of the Marshall Islands (MH), the Republic of Palau (PW) and more than 157 federally-recognized tribes including the Navajo Nation—the largest tribe in the U.S.
Region 9 shares a border with Mexico and encompasses nine time zones including the International Date Line. Region 9 is diverse in population, geography, languages, and unique demography. Given its rich regional variation, a uniform health access lens is applied to all regional work across the spectrum of public health, science, environmental exposures, and the health impacts of disasters.
Region 9 holds a steadfast commitment to addressing the needs of disproportionately affected populations and the region-wide distribution of public health services and immunizations through a prevention-based model. In doing so, ORHO in Region 9 leads the way through partnership, innovation, resource prioritization, and a collective support to the communities most in need via a comprehensive public health “systems” approach.
