Los Angeles Regional Network

The Latino Coalition for a Healthy California, in partnership with Alliance for a Better Community (ABC) , is developing regional advocacy infrastructure to create a regional Latino Health Agenda.  The first meeting of the Los Angeles Regional Network (LARN) was held on September 17, 2004 to discuss and identify pressing regional Latino health issues.  The second meeting of the LARN was held on March 24, 2005 to begin developing a regional Latino health agenda.

Latino Coalition for a Healthy California invites you to become a member of the LARN.   As a member of the LARN, you will have an opportunity to discuss and collaborate with other local and regional health advocates on pressing Latino health issues.  Meetings are held three or four times per year and members collaborate on a number of Latino health issues.

This year, the LARN has identified the following issues to include the regional Latino Health Agenda:  

• Access to Health Care – expanding children's coverage, opposing Medi-Cal premiums
• Health Disparities – reducing the Latino childhood obesity epidemic
• Community Health – health education and the promotora

Below is information from the past two meetings:
