What We Do
Advocating for health equity.
Changing Health Policy: CPEHN monitors, analyzes, and develops policies that improve the health of communities of color.
Convening Diverse Communities: Our events bring our communities together to share information and provide a forum to develop a unified agenda to advance health equity.
Collecting Data and Resources: Our Multicultural Health Web Portal collects the most up-to-date studies and statistics on the health of our communities and the inequities we experience.
Working in Diverse Coalitions: CPEHN works to build a unified, inclusive movement to achieve health equity, and has been instrumental in establishing and leading two statewide coalitions - Having Our Say and Healthy Places.
CPEHN's Four Priority Areas
Our work is grounded in our vision for achieving health equity:
- All Californians will have equal access to affordable health care.
- Cultural competency will be integrated into quality care.
- Social and environmental conditions will promote the health of communities of color.
- All health institutions and agencies will address differences in access, utilization, and outcomes among racial, ethnic, and language groups.
