Through this ground-breaking, multi-year study, Community Health Councils with its partners USC and the CHC African Americans Building a Legacy of Health collaborative found that race, geography, and the availability of healthy foods play a substantial role in determining what African Americans in Los Angeles eat.

Welcome!
Community Health Councils (CHC) is a non-profit community-based health promotion, advocacy and policy organization. CHC was established in 1992 in response to the growing healthcare crisis. Our mission is to improve health and increase access to quality healthcare for uninsured, under-resourced and underserved populations. CHC works to strengthen community participation in defining state and local policies that impact healthcare access and quality and to increase access for uninsured, economically-disadvantaged and underserved populations.

CHC achieves its goals by mobilizing, organizing and empowering community and grassroots consumer groups that share its vision of a healthy, informed and pro-active consumer population. We work through community collaborative efforts to identify the healthcare needs of existing and emerging communities.
