The Network for a Healthy California Campaigns include:

Children's Power Play! Campaign

Latino Campaign

The Latino Campaign is a public health initiative led by the California Department of Health Services and administered by the Public Health Institute in cooperation with the Network for a Healthy California Program of the National Cancer Institute. Its purpose is to empower low-income Latino adults and their families to consume the recommended amount of fruit and vegetables and enjoy physical activity every day. The Campaign also works with communities throughout California to create environments where these behaviors are socially supported and accessible. The healthy eating and physical activity objectives are designed to reduce the risks of chronic diseases, especially cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and obesity. Please feel free to contact Eustolia Zamora-Bonilla, Program Coordinator at (559) 456-7551 if you have any questions.

Designed to cross over traditional political, geographic and organizational boundaries, the Network conducts activities in three major areas:

1. Maximize Local Impact -- The Network provides training, coordination and communications support to all Network-funded projects and other stakeholders in the region.
2. Mobilize Community Action - Each region includes a Regional Collaborative - individuals, organizations, advocates, community leaders, businesses and others with expertise in nutrition, physical activity, hunger prevention/food security, and under-served communities. The Network provides administrative support to the Regional Collaboratives and facilitate advocacy initiatives to help change policies and the environment in low-income neighborhoods.
3. Reach Out with Campaigns and Programs -- The Network for a Healthy California implements the regional campaigns that focus on special populations, primarily those who are low-income, food stamp eligible.
