LA County Department of Public Health

Welcome!

The Network for a Healthy California-Los Angeles Region is funded through a grant from the USDA Food Stamp Program. The Regional Network works to help create an environment to help low-income county residents eat healthy and get regular physical activity.

Designed to cross over traditional political, geographic and organizational boundaries, the Network for a Healthy California-Los Angeles Region conducts activities in three major areas:

Maximize Local Impact -- The Network for a Healthy California provides training, coordination and communications support to all Network-funded projects and other stakeholders in the region.

Mobilize Community Action – The Los Angeles Collaborative for Healthy Active Children – individuals, organizations, advocates, community leaders, businesses and others with expertise in nutrition, physical activity, hunger prevention/food security, and under-served communities brings together hundreds of people and organizations, including Local Incentive Awardees, Special Projects, and Campaigns, who belong to the LA Collaborative

Outreach with target population centered Campaigns and Programs -- The Regional Network implements regional Campaigns and Programs that target special populations. These include the African American Campaign, the Latino Campaign, the Power Play Campaign, the Worksite Program, and the Retail Campaign. For more information on each of these campaigns and programs please refer to the menu bar on the left hand side of this page.

Ultimately the foundation of our network is the people that we serve every day. We help them become their own champions for change to live healthier more fulfilling lives. The four primary messages that we deliver are:

1. Increase fruit and vegetable consumption

2. Increase physical activity levels

3. Increase food security

4. Increase chronic disease prevention
