County of L.A. Dept of Public Health - Network For A Healthy CA

Description

The Network for a Healthy California - Los Angeles Region encourages healthy eating and improved physical activity habits of low-income populations in an effort to reduce the risk of chronic diseases, such as heart disease, diabetes, cancer and obesity. The nutrition education services target the estimated 1.35 million Los Angeles County residents at or below 185 percent of the federal poverty level. The Regional Network consists of Regional Campaigns and Programs that achieve impact through a variety of channels such as workshops, festivals, health fairs, food demonstrations, and media promotions including television, radio and print. The Regional Network also encourages collaboration among our many stakeholders by organizing the Los Angeles Collaborative for Healthy Active Children, which includes over 100 agencies working together to prevent childhood obesity through education and support for healthy lifestyles in our communities.
