Latino Coalition for a Healthy California ( LCHC ) the only statewide organization with a specific emphasis on Latino health was founded in 1992 by health care providers, consumers and advocates to impact Latino health through enhanced information, policy development and community involvement. Since then, the Latino Coalition for a Healthy California has positioned itself to meet the primary goal of its mission: "To develop and support policies, services and conditions that will improve the health of Latinos." LCHC accomplishes this by addressing inequities in quality of health care ; building advocacy for high quality, culturally sensitive, and linguistically appropriate health care and prevention services ; informing the public to make choices that favor better health outcomes ; and empowering communities to fully participate in health planning, implementation, evaluation, and advocacy. As the leading voice on Latino health, three major functions provide essential focus to the organization's work: public policy and advocacy ; community education ; and research. These functions complement LCHC's work in three key strategic areas: access to health care, health disparities and community health. If you are interested becoming part of a larger movement of professionals, medical providers, legislative staff and others who are interested in advancing the health of Latinos, please consider becoming a member of the Latino Coalition for a Healthy California.
