Los Angeles County
In collaboration with community partners and leaders, the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health continues to advance its health equity mission. Expanding connections to broader sectors was especially critical in the Department’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Partnerships with the County’s Department of Health Services, clinics, and community and faith-based organizations ensured that testing and vaccination sites were accessible and provided through culturally appropriate mechanisms. Through a network of trusted community-based partners, the Department was able to disseminate timely, linguistically appropriate, and “on the ground” education information about the pandemic, vaccinations, therapeutics, and available resources.
The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health works extensively with the business sector and labor partners to understand the challenges faced by essential workers, and disproportionately served women, people of color and business owners. These discussions helped elevate concerns and informed the development of protocols, guidance documents, and Health Officer Orders to ensure worker and customer safety while facilitating compliance with public health protective measures.
Philanthropic partners proved essential to bolster activities when grant and local funding sources were too restrictive. In partnership with the Southern California Grantmakers, philanthropy funded mini-grants for faith-based organizations and smaller CBOs who had been voluntarily conducting COVID-19 vaccination clinics.
