Translating community solutions into equitable policy and lasting change.

What We Do

We are a statewide policy advocacy organization advancing health equity for California’s Latine community—40% of California’s 40 million residents. Our powerful team members bring their personal lived experiences and professional technical expertise through our programming, policy development, and strategic communications. In collaboration with our trusted partners, we translate community solutions into equitable policy and lasting systemic change.

Community Change

At LCHC, we build local capacity and train community leaders to engage with policy and systems decision-makers. Our programs engage Latine leaders and Latine-serving organizations to cultivate community participation in decision-making processes so systems meet the unique needs of the State’s largest racial/ethnic community.

Legislative and Administrative Advocacy

LCHC is the leading statewide policy organization with a specific emphasis on Latine health. Through legislative and administrative advocacy, LCHC transforms policy systems to advance Latine health justice. We partner with Latine Health Equity champions in the CA Assembly, Senate and Administration to achieve bold, innovative policy strategies to close the gap on racial/ethnic health disparities for the State’s Latine community and achieve health equity for all Californians.

Announcing the 2025 Health Policy Summit:
California Presente: Corazón de Resistencia

The Latino Coalition for a Healthy California (LCHC) invites you to attend LCHC’s 2025 Health Policy Summit. Our summit’s theme this year, California Presente: Corazón de Resistencia (California Present: Heart of Resistance), centers hope, power, and our responsibility to defend all Californians.

Our communities are actively facing anti-Latine rhetoric & policies from the federal administration. The policies being enacted aim to destroy our existing health and safety net infrastructure while disproportionately impacting our already systemically disenfranchised communities. The summit will bring us together for a day of interactive and thoughtful conversations on the different ways we can collectively stand against these threats.

The summit will take place at The California Endowment in Sacramento on October 16th, 2025 from 9:30 am-4:00 pm.

Please join us after the summit for our reception at juju kitchen & cocktails from 4:00-6:00 pm.
