The California Center for Public Health Advocacy (CCPHA) is a nonpartisan nonprofit organization that raises awareness about critical public health issues and mobilizes communities to promote the establishment of effective state and local health policies. CCPHA was established in 1999 by California’s two public health associations – SCPHA and CPHA-N. Click here for CCPHA’s 2009 Annual Report.

CCPHA uses tools of public health — epidemiological research, grassroots organizing, public and policy maker education, and partnership building — to design policy solutions that address critical public health challenges facing California.
