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

 

>> More about diversity...

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

>> What we're doing to improve health care coverage...

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.

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.
