All Californians deserve the opportunity to reach their best health. Health equity means ensuring people have what they need to be healthy. Yet barriers based on race, income, geography, gender, age, and language still prevent too many from getting care.
We invest in programs, research, and policies that remove those barriers. When our health system serves everyone’s unique needs, all Californians have a clearer path to good health and wellbeing.
