Community Public Health Team Overview
|
What is a Community Public Health Team?
Community Public Health Team (CPHT) is a project that brings together community-based organizations, health care partners, and Public Health staff. These teams work at the household level, conducting home visits to gather health needs and connect people to care. These teams also work at the community level, inviting people to participate in creating community action plans.
This is a new approach to public health and health care in LA County. Public Health is investing public health infrastructure dollars to implement this pilot project for five years, beginning August 2023. The goal is to build long-term relationships with households, empower communities to define the health priorities that matter to them, and demonstrate that this new way of engagement can support better health outcomes.
Is there a CPHT serving my community?
This is a pilot project currently being launched in 10
high-priority, service areas within LA County. Each
service area includes 8,000-13,000 households. These
service areas include parts of the following
communities: Bell, Boyle Heights, Cudahy, El Monte,
Florence-Firestone, Harvard Park, Huntington Park,
Lancaster, Lincoln Heights, Mission Hills, Pacoima,
Rosemead, San Fernando, South El Monte, South Gate,
South Park, Sylmar, Watts, West Vernon, and Wilmington. What should I expect if there is a CPHT in my community?
If you live in one of the service areas, you are eligible to receive services. You will be invited to participate in an in-person household assessment with a Community Health Worker
(CHW). After the assessment, the CHW will offer to connect you to services based on your responses.
Anyone living in or near the service area will also be invited to join community meetings to learn about the project and how to get more involved.

There are 10 Community Public Health Teams. Each team is a partnership that includes a community-based organization, a health care partner, and a Public Health representative. The CPHT working in each service area and their contact information are listed below.
Only certain census tracts in each area are selected for this pilot project. Some teams are working in neighboring areas. Please contact the CPHT nearest to you and provide your home address to confirm.

Are there opportunities for other organizations and agencies to get involved?
Yes, each CPHT must identify and foster relationships
with ancillary partners to respond to
community-identified issues and support the
infrastructure of CPHT work. These ancillary partners
can engage in ongoing CPHT activities and provide feedback
to administrative, programmatic, and evaluative
components of the project. Partnerships may or may not
be funded.
If your organization is
interested in learning about community-identified
priorities, exploring opportunities to be an ancillary
partner, or sharing CPHT project info with clients,
please contact:
DPH-CommEngagement@ph.lacounty.gov.
