Partnership for the Public's Health: Current Projects

Healthy Eating, Active Communities
PPH serves as the program office for the local demonstration component of The Endowment's Healthy Eating, Active Communities program (HEAC). HEAC seeks to prevent childhood obesity through environmental strategies that help communities become places where healthy choices are possible. PPH provides direct coaching and technical support for collaborative development, coordinates technical support providers and resources, manages grants, develops lessons learned and supports capacity building among local health departments, community coalitions and school districts in six sites across California.
The California Convergence
Funded by Kaiser Permanente and The California Endowment, this effort seeks to strengthen and expand a growing movement in California to improve nutrition and physical activity environments. PPH provides the support to link state and local policy advocates, coordinates state and national communications leaders to frame the public dialogue, and is building networks to support peer learning and sustainable community leadership.
Central California Regional Obesity Prevention Program (CCROPP)
PPH provides technical support coordination for this 3-year, 6 county program of the Central California Public Health Partnership, funded by The California Endowment, that aims to reduce disparities in obesity and diabetes in Central California communities.
