The California Black Health Network (CBHN) was founded in 1978 and established as a 501(c)(3) in 1983. CBHN is the only Black-led, statewide organization and has become the voice and trusted resource for advancing health equity for all Black Californians.
CBHN’s work is guided by its health equity framework, which encompasses racial justice, social justice, and environmental justice. Through its outreach, education, advocacy/policy and programmatic work, CBHN aims to create a California where every all Black Californians have the opportunity to live long healthy lives, free from violence, racism, and health inequities.
To ensure that all Black Californians, regardless of their education, socio-economic class, zip code, sexual orientation, gender identity, homelessness, or immigration status have access to high quality and equitable primary and behavioral healthcare, and avoid unnecessarily succumbing to disease.
The recent more than $12 billion in public health funding authorized and appropriated by Congress threatens to erode essential public health infrastructure, undercut critical efforts to address health inequities, and changes the tide of progress made toward improving health outcomes for the most vulnerable populations. Our health and healthcare are at risk. Taking away these critical resources could have catastrophic consequences not only in California but across the country.
For more than four decades, CBHN has been on the forefront of the fight in California to increase access to quality, equitable healthcare, improve healthcare delivery, and address the root causes of health inequities in order to improve the health and wellbeing of our community.
Now, more than ever, we need your support to help us ramp up our efforts to advocate and fight to protect Medi-Cal and Covered California (our version of the Affordable Care Act ) availability so that millions of Californians can keep their healthcare.
Every $75 raised helps us conduct the outreach, education, and navigation support necessary to enroll an individual and their family into an affordable healthcare plan that’s right for them, and keep them enrolled. This is our greatest need given this critical moment in time. Your support will enable us to lead and drive advocacy and policy initiatives to Defend California and fight for our health and healthcare!
CBHN recognizes and values individuals’ differences and their unique needs and circumstances and believes that everyone should receive the healthcare they deserve and have the opportunity to live a long healthy life. While our mission is essentially our equity statement – to ensure that all Black Californians, regardless of their education, socio-economic class, zip code, sexual orientation, gender identity, housing, or immigration status have access to high quality and equitable primary and behavioral healthcare, and avoid unnecessarily succumbing to disease - we are committed to an all inclusive approach to advancing health equity.
