Translating community solutions into equitable policy and lasting change.

What We Do

We are a statewide policy advocacy organization advancing health equity for California’s Latinx community—40% of California’s 40 million residents. Our powerful team members bring their personal lived experiences and professional technical expertise through our programming, policy development, and strategic communications. In collaboration with our trusted partners, we translate community solutions into equitable policy and lasting systemic change.

Community Change

At LCHC, we build local capacity and train community leaders to engage with policy and systems decision-makers. Our programs engage Latinx leaders and Latinx-serving organizations to cultivate community participation in decision-making processes so systems meet the unique needs of the State’s largest racial/ethnic community.

Policy Change

LCHC is the leading statewide policy organization with a specific emphasis on Latinx health. Through legislative and administrative advocacy, LCHC transforms policy systems to advance Latinx health justice. We partner with Latinx Health Equity champions in the CA Assembly, Senate and Administration to achieve bold, innovative policy strategies to close the gap on racial/ethnic health disparities for the State’s Latinx community and achieve health equity for all Californians.

About this year’s Summit:

The Latino Coalition for a Healthy California (LCHC) invites you to to attend this year’s Latine & Indigenous Health Policy Summit – California Unida for Health Equity.

The theme, California Unida for Health Equity, underscores the critical need for the Latine community and all Californians to unite in creating meaningful policy change. Join us as we discuss our Medi-Cal system, it’s expansion as well as the recent unwinding. We will discuss the economic importance of investing in Latine health and it’s broader impacts on our state. All of this in the shadow of a consequential election, where health is on the ballot.

The Summit will take place in Los Angeles on October 2nd, 2024 from 1:00-4:00pm, with an onsite reception immediately following. This event is unique in California, focusing explicitly on exploring policy solutions to address the complex health disparities faced by Latine and Indigenous Californians.
