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.

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.

Latine and Indigenous Health Policy Summit Over the Years

2023 Summit: ‘Regeneracion’

Regeneración, or regeneration, is the natural process of renewal and restoration after a disturbance or damaging event. In 2023, we were joined by hundreds of statewide and local public health leaders, community members, government, and philanthropy partners, in exploring policy solutions that will heal and restore our communities after a devastating global pandemic. 

The Summit was followed by an in-person Double Quinceañera reception that brought Summit attendees together for an evening of networking and celebration. During this first-of-its-kind event for us, guests enjoyed food, live music, and surprise guests Las Cafeteras for an intimate concert.

2022 Virtual Policy Summit – ‘Fortaleza en Comunidad’

The 2022 virtual Latinx Health Policy Summit ‘Fortaleza en Comunidad’ served as an opportunity to celebrate our history and to bring together over 500 statewide and local public health leaders, government, and philanthropy partners. We held a two-day virtual convening of dynamic keynotes and panel conversations focused on intersectional health equity solutions for our Latinx community.

The 2022 Summit featured conversations ranging from Latina reproductive rights, civic engagement, advancing healthcare access, and economic justice. 

2021 Virtual Health Policy Summit – ‘Nuestro Futuro, Nuestro Poder’

2021 devastated the health and economic position of underserved Black Indigenous People of Color (BIPOC) and immigrant communities. In California, no community has borne the brunt of this pandemic more than Latinx communities. There was no single Latinx household that wasn’t impacted by the undue toll on human life and socioeconomic impacts of the COVID-19. The 2021 Summit sparked a dialogue with committed leaders, advocates, legislators, policymakers, providers, and community health champions to help shape a united Latinx Health Policy Agenda that leads towards a just COVID-19 recovery.
