Bridges to Health
Mission Statement
To promote policies that empower communities of color and other disadvantaged groups in the benefits of good health and healthy environments through multi-ethnic leadership development and advocating on behalf of these underserved populations.
Diversity in the Health Workforce
|
|
Bridges to Health is working to promote more diversity in the health industry through a host of efforts, including examining diversity statistics and policies in health-related higher education. We seek to bring minorities to the table in health policy decision making. |
Access to Care |
|
|
|
The Bridges to Health team seeks to strengthen California’s healthcare system so that all Californians can benefit. We work towards intelligent investments in culturally and linguistically appropriate preventive and primary health care that can not only save lives, but will also save money for patients, taxpayers and the healthcare system as a whole. |

With a $3 billion dollar investment into healthcare andfacebook employment opportunities, the underserved and minority communities of California must ensure that their stem cell program serves the state's diverse population. Learn more on how Greenlining is working to insure diversity in this investment and to learn more about the Toward Fair Cures conference. |
Prescription Drugs
|
|
All Californians are paying the price! Our Bridges to Health Team is continuing to work, on both the federal and state levels, for the right of all Californians to have access to safe, effective, and affordable prescription drugs that are purchased in a fair marketplace. |
