California Health Collaborative

California Health Collaborative is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to improving the health and well-being of Californians, particularly in underserved and rural communities. Founded in 1982, the organization manages numerous public health programs focused on chronic disease prevention, maternal and child health, and tobacco control. Key initiatives include the Every Woman Counts program, which provides breast and cervical cancer screenings, and various community-based health education projects. The Collaborative partners with state and local agencies to address health disparities and enhance access to care across California. Their work emphasizes health equity through outreach, advocacy, and the coordination of clinical services for low-income populations.
