About the company
National Health Foundation addresses health inequities in under-resourced Southern California communities. It focuses on four areas—housing, food access, built environment, and education—using programs and advocacy to change neighborhoods where people live, learn, work, and play. It differentiates itself by a place-based, multi-sector approach that targets root causes and empowers residents rather than only delivering health services. Its goal is to remove barriers to good health so residents can live longer, healthier lives regardless of income or background.

What critics are saying
