Next Bay Area Regional Network Meeting:

Bay Area Regional Network (BARN)

The Latino Coalition for a Healthy California, in partnership with Alameda Health Consortium, California Immigrant Policy Center, Services, Immigrant Rights and Education Network, and Working Partnership USA, is developing regional advocacy infrastructure to create a regional Latino Health Agenda.

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

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

Access to Health Care - expanding children's coverage and healthcare reform

Facts on healthcare reform: Bay Area AB X 1 1 Fact Sheet

Health Disparities - reducing the Latino childhood obesity epidemic
Community Health - health education
Immigrant Health - reducing barriers to access health care
