About CHC Who We Are What We Do Access & Quality of Healthcare
coalitions mobilize community resources to improve the quality of
healthcare services, strengthen the healthcare safety net, and promote
the establishment of a medical home. CHC is working with safety-net
providers to support the development of a culturally-relevant,
cost-effective integrated system of care in South LA as a model for the
nation. Community Health & Education, working with local residents and stakeholders, builds and transform community assets for health promotion. The coalitions advocate for preserving and expanding open space, improving the availability and quality of food and physical activity options in one of the nation's most densely-populated and under-resourced metropolitan areas. Expansion & Quality of Healthcare Coverage
supports coalitions at the local, state and national levels to expand
healthcare coverage and improve outreach, enrollment, retention and
utilization in publicly-sponsored healthcare programs. The touchstone
project helps families enroll in and use low-cost health insurance
program to reduce the number of uninsured children in LA County. The work of Community Health Councils has been made possible through the generous donations of our funders. This growing support has enabled CHC to play an ever-increasing leadership role at the local, state and federal levels.
