Abstract / Description

Building Healthy Communities (BHC) is a signature program of The California Endowment (TCE) combining 10 years of continuous funding in 14 historically disinvested communities with state-level and regional policy campaigns and coalition building. A novel approach to health improvement that encompasses the social determinants of health, BHC focuses on power building to promote systems change and advance racial equity. It is characterized by a unique blend of “proximal” neighborhood-level engagement with media strategies that shift narratives to deeper understanding of systemic inequities and the potential of people power to transform them. This guide provides key reports that summarize key findings and learnings. (author abstract)
