“To ensure health for all, we must change how we approach health transformation, starting by making sure everyone is at the table,” said Dr. Tomás J. Aragón, CDPH
We are happy to share that the One San Pedro Alliance has been selected as a California Accountable Community for Health (ACH) to launch an innovative strategy that centers community health. The 400-thousand-dollar award will be distributed over the next 2 ½ years to support the work that will be led by our cross-sector partnership.
ACHs are designed to break down existing silos by bringing together many sectors and players within a community to align and transform local systems, all while centering residents’ voices in decision-making. Using multi-sector and community-based partnerships built on a solid foundation of trust, ACHs empower communities to address persistent and emerging health challenges—and social inequities—in holistic and innovative ways.
This July the One San Pedro Alliance will join 24 other cities throughout the state to follow the ACH model as a vehicle to make measurable progress on one of California’s major state health initiatives. For the next 2 ½ years the OSP Alliance will continue to work closely with our partners, Rancho San Pedro residents, and other stakeholders to elevate resident voices in decision-making within the alliance and throughout our work in San Pedro.
