Legislative & Budget Advocacy
Learn More >>
At LCHC, we believe that policy should be rooted in a community-centered approach, ensuring that community input is systematically integrated at every stage of the policy development process. Each year, we bring together cross-sector and multi-issue stakeholders through initiatives like our Nuestras Voces, Nuestro Poder Community Listening Tour and the Latine and Indigenous Health Policy Summit to shape our Latine Health Equity Agenda. This approach allows us to advance policies that are truly reflective of and responsive to the evolving needs of Latine communities in California while amplifying their voices in the policymaking process.
What is Health Equity?
Learn more >>Health equity means that everyone has a fair and just opportunity to achieve their highest level of health, regardless of their background, socioeconomic status, or circumstances. It focuses on removing barriers—such as poverty, discrimination, and lack of access to quality healthcare—that disproportionately affect marginalized communities.
Achieving health equity requires:
✅ Addressing social determinants of health (e.g., housing, education, environment, and income).
✅ Eliminating disparities in healthcare access and outcomes (e.g., ensuring communities of color receive the same quality of care as others).
✅ Creating policies and systems that prioritize historically underserved communities.
