The Action Plan

What is the Center’s Action Plan?

The Center for Health Equity Action Plan directs the Center’s activities over six years. It identifies our vision for the future and our pathway there. The first year includes a start-up period and will be followed by five years of implementation.

The plan outlines a set of strategies and actions to focus the work and is a public commitment to achieving a set of defined equity goals. These activities were designed to foster health equity and create partnerships that strive to ensure that everyone in our county can reach optimal health and well-being.

The Action Plan framework organizes the Center’s work around four strategic priorities to support our main goal of eliminating gaps in health outcomes by addressing the communities most impacted. These strategic priorities will determine how we will do our work across the Health Agency and County of Los Angeles to:

• Provide useful and inclusive data to raise awareness and drive action
• Support policy and systems change that change and prevent unfair practices
• Build public, private and community partnerships to collaborate on efforts that ensure communities have equal access to opportunities needed to thrive
• Strengthen organizational readiness and capacity to reduce gaps in health outcomes

This Action Plan was developed and informed by input gathered from community stakeholders through key informant interviews and forums. The Center held 17 events throughout LA County where community members and other stakeholders provided feedback and recommendations on planned strategies and how the Center can add value to and uplift work that supports health equity in our communities.
