What is a Community Public Health Team?
Community Public Health Teams (CPHT) is a project that brings together community-based organizations, health care partners, and Public Health staff. These teams work at the household level, conducting home visits to gather health needs and connect people to care. These teams also work at the community level, inviting people to participate in creating community action plans.
Is there a CPHT serving my community?
This is a pilot project currently being launched in 10 high-priority,
service areas within LA County.
Use the CPHT Locator on the right to type in your home
address and see if it is in one of our service
areas. Learn more about each team below.
What should I expect if there is a CPHT in my community?
If you live in one of the service areas, you are eligible to receive services. You will be invited to participate in an in-person household assessment with a Community Health Worker (CHW)
from an organization contracted with Public Health. After the assessment, the CHW will offer to connect you to services based on your responses. Anyone living in or near the service area will also be invited to join community meetings to learn about the project and how to get more involved.
