California Health Collaborative

The California Health Collaborative (Collaborative) changes lives by improving health and wellness. Guided by this mission, the Collaborative is committed to empowering Californians to achieve optimal health and thereby improving their quality of life. This is accomplished by serving the needs of individuals with limited access to healthcare resources and who most often confront barriers related to culture, language, immigration status, income, gender, geography, and/or education.

Since its creation in 1982 as 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, the Collaborative has crafted a foundation of programming that is responsive to existing and emerging health issues. These programs, collectively and in partnership with a diverse group of principal stakeholders, offer a mechanism by which the Collaborative can mobilize systematic changes that result in a sound state of health and wellbeing for all Californians.
