Founded in 1992 by health care providers, consumers and advocates, the Latino Coalition for a Healthy California - the only statewide organization with a specific emphasis on Latino health - impacts Latino health through enhanced information, policy development and community involvement.

Through its Rapid Response Network of 2,400 community-based organizations and its Regional Networks in San Diego, Los Angeles, the Bay Area and the Central Valley, LCHC affiliates stand ready to be mobilized to impact public policies, services and conditions that affect Latino health.
