Improving the health of communities by tackling social determinants of health.
About us
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.

We’d like to thank Governor Gavin Newsom and our legislators for passing Assembly Bill 107- Budget Act of 2024. This ensures Market Match remains in the state budget, but our biggest gratitude goes to the frontline workers, including our CalFresh Promotores and community advocates. Your dedication over the past few months has been essential in preserving Market Match and ensuring food access for families. We made a difference! 🌟🙌 #communityheroes #marketmatch #calfresh #foodaccess #nhf #nationalhealthfoundation

In need of resources for youth engagement!? See below! We are proud to have had our youth engagement team contribute to the development of these resources. Through youth participatory action research (YPAR) we have been working with youth to improve the health of communities. If you're interested in doing the same, reach out to us and check out ETR to get connected to the Youth Engagement Network. #NationalAdolescentHealthMonth #YouthHealth
Looking for youth engagement resources? Check out the Youth Engagement Network (YEN) resource page! There are 15+ downloadable tip sheets and tools made in collaboration with youth-serving partners to support your work with young people. YEN is a past project of ETR, which worked to make a measurable impact on youth engagement by increasing the number and strength of those committed to engaging youth in programs, services and systems to improve sexual and reproductive health.
