Health Care for All Californians

The California Health Care Foundation helps Californians with low incomes get the health care they need.

Our Priorities

Health Equity

Health Equity

All Californians should have the opportunity to achieve their fullest potential for health. CHCF is working with a wide range of partners to remove structural barriers to care and build a just and equitable health care system that is designed to redress, not perpetuate, the inequities that too many of our fellow Californians face.

Affordability

Affordability

Every year, half of Californians skip care because of high health care costs. And the problem is getting worse. CHCF is working to make care more affordable for all Californians while addressing unsustainable spending across the system. Learn More about Affordability
