Health Equity Policy & Planning (HEPP) unit

The Office of Health Equity's Health Equity Policy & Planning (HEPP) Unit addresses complex issues that require input and collaboration across multiple agencies and departments, most of which are outside of the health sector.  Health in All Policies works with the California Strategic Growth Council and 22 other state agencies and departments to advance policy and programs that support health, equity, and sustainability. The Climate Change and Health Equity Program works to implement California climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies and guidance that advance health equity. (website abstract)
