LCHC’s Annual Latine and Indigenous Health Policy Summit

Our annual Latine and Indigenous Health Policy Summit is the only conference in California explicitly focusing on exploring policy solutions to address the complex health disparities that Latine Californians face. The Summit serves as an opportunity to celebrate our history and to bring together hundreds of statewide and local public health leaders, government, and philanthropy partners and activates our network consisting of 20,000+ Latinx health stakeholders. We convene dynamic conversations with leaders from across California who are eager to advance systemic and community-centered solutions to bring about a healthier, more equitable, and sustainable future for ALL.

The Latino Coalition for a Healthy California invites you to the 2026 Latine & Indigenous Health Policy Summit: California en Comunidad on October 20, 2026. During the Summit, we will proudly launch the Latine and Indigenous Master Plan for Health Equity: a collective vision for a healthier and more equitable California.

California en Comunidad reflects our belief that the movement toward health equity is built in community, by community. A beautiful part of our Latine culture is the way we come together, in heart, spirit, and purpose, to gather around a table and break bread. Whether over dinner at a cena or coffee during a cafecito, these are the spaces where we share our dreams, name our challenges, and make plans for the future. This same spirit of connection and collective vision guided the conversations that shaped the Latine and Indigenous Master Plan for Health Equity.

Latine and Indigenous Health Policy Summit Over the Years

LCHC’s 2025 Health Policy Summit’s theme, California Presente: Corazón de Resistencia (California Present: Heart of Resistance), centers hope, power, and our responsibility to defend all Californians.

Our communities are actively facing anti-Latine rhetoric & policies from the federal administration. The policies being enacted aim to destroy our existing health and safety net infrastructure while disproportionately impacting our already systemically disenfranchised communities. The summit will bring us together for a day of interactive and thoughtful conversations on the different ways we can collectively stand against these threats.

2024 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.
