211 San Diego Community Calendar

211 San Diego has an upgraded Community Calendar where you can share your events for free!

To start submitting events, you must first create an account. Events that align with the inclusion requirements will be published.

We are excited to be a Premier Partner with Civitas Networks for Health for the 2025 Civitas Annual Conference alongside other California Civitas members. Convening under the theme, “Bridging Data and Doing,” the event will take place from September 28-30, 2025, in Anaheim, CA.

The partnership marks a significant collaboration aimed at fostering cross-sector solutions that drive health improvement and innovation across the nation. By leveraging the powerful relationships and collaborative work of 211 San Diego, the organizations will collectively exemplify how exchanging community-level data at the community can drive meaningful change locally, regionally, state-wide, and nationally. There is tremendous opportunity for CIEs, Health Information Exchanges (HIEs), Community Based Organizations, and other health data collaboratives to increase partnerships to further the important connections that can advance whole person care.

Mark your calendars and stay tuned for more information on registration and the full conference agenda. This is a must-attend event for professionals working at the intersection of health information exchange, data-driven health care, and social service delivery.
