RENEW Request for Proposals Overview

On March 19, 2010 the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health selected ten agencies to receive the "RENEW LAC!" or Renewing Environments for Nutrition, Exercise and Wellness in Los Angeles County grant. These agencies will receive approximately $240,000 to develop and implement initiatives that will increase physical activity and access to healthy foods through policy, systems, and environmental change. The ten initiatives are funded by the U.S. Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) Communities Putting Prevention to Work initiative. A list of the selected agencies and the Request for Proposals are provided below.

Our primary mission is to help make Los Angeles County a healthier place. In collaboration with our community partners and key stakeholders, we focus on reducing the risk and burden of chronic disease, injury, and social conditions that affect health to promote well-being and quality of life for all residents in this diverse county.

When we focus on prevention and make our communities places of health, safety, and opportunity for social and economic growth, everyone benefits.
