Planning for a Healthier South LA with the California Endowment’s Building Healthy Communities Initiative

This year, PSR-LA has taken a leadership role in planning for a healthier South Los Angeles through the California Endowment’s Building Healthy Communities strategic initiative. As the Endowment points out, where we live, work and play directly impacts our health. The evidence shows that for California to thrive, our communities must have more than available health care. Affordable housing, good jobs, safe schools, clean air, parks and playgrounds, walkable streets, markets with fresh fruits and vegetables, and strong social networks are also crucial to a healthy California.
