Founded in 1973, National Health Foundation is a nonprofit that works within under-resourced Southern California communities to eliminate barriers to health, address the root causes of poor health, and find solutions that lead to lasting change. Embracing the guiding philosophy that health begins where we live, learn, work and play, the organization’s advocacy and work focuses on four key areas: housing, food access, built environment and education. We are committed to changing the physical and social landscape of vulnerable neighborhoods and empowering individuals to make choices that allow them to live a long, healthy life, regardless of their income, education or ethnic background.
