Local Policy

CCPHA helps California cities, counties, and school districts promote healthy eating and physical activity.  We train local residents to work toward having healthier foods in their neighborhoods, we mobilize teams of community members to educate policy makers, and we work with elected officials to help them craft needed reforms.
