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. Three major functions provide essential focus to the organization's work: Public Policy and Advocacy; Community Education; and Research. These functions complement LCHC's work in three key strategic areas: access to health care, health disparities and community health. 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.
Join the Latino Coalition for a Healthy California and become part of a larger movement of students, professionals, medical providers, legislative staff and others who are interested in advancing the health of Latinos.
Get Involved! This year, there are many legislative proposals to expand health care coverage for Californians. Make your voice heard!
