mission
Good quality health care is essential for all Californians to have long, healthy lives. By investing in creating healthier communities that prevent chronic disease and injuries, we keep people from needing care in the first place, improve lives, and make healthcare dollars go further.
Our mission is to build a culture of health for all Californians, reduce disparities and contain health costs through education and state level advocacy for new and sustained funding to promote health equity and prevent the leading causes of illness and injury, particularly through upstream primary prevention.
