South Los Angeles Health Projects is a community services department dedicated to fighting health disparities and promoting healthy choices in the South Los Angeles area. With a history spanning over 50 years, they educate and encourage individuals to make nutritious food choices, breastfeed their babies, prioritize prenatal and postnatal care, and ensure proper vaccination for themselves and their children.
Working in partnership with organizations like the California Department of Public Health WIC Program, South Los Angeles Health Projects has distributed over 24 million checks for nutritious food to WIC participants in the region since 1985. They are committed to addressing the national public health crisis of racism, which contributes to poverty, food insecurity, disease, limited access to medical care, and higher rates of maternal and infant mortality, particularly affecting African Americans. Through their efforts, they aim to combat systemic racism and improve health outcomes for People of Color.
