California Health & Human Services Agency Details
Our North Star:We envision a Healthy California for All where every individual belongs to a strong and thriving community.Where all our children can play and learn, and where we are confident that we have done all we can to pass to them a state they can lead into the future. Where older and disabled Californians can live with purpose and dignity, and where they are supported and valued.Where equity is not just a word or concept but the core value.Where we constantly pursue social and racial justice by not only lifting all boats but especially those boats that need to be lifted more.Where health care is affordable, accessible, equitable and high-quality so it drives toward improved health.Where we prioritize prevention and the upstream factors that impact an individual's health and well-being.Where we are committed to tackling the economic inequalities that force many Californians to live on the street. Where necessities like housing and childcare are complimented by access to physical and behavioral health services.Where we see the whole person and where programs and services address the social, cultural and linguistic needs of the individuals they serve.Where climate threats collide with forward leaning health practices and policies that visibly turn the tide toward community resilience.And where we see our diversity as a strength, and where we embrace a joint responsibility to take care of one another.
