THE MISSION OF THE CALIFORNIA ENDOWMENT IS TO EXPAND ACCESS TO AFFORDABLE, QUALITY HEALTH CARE FOR UNDERSERVED INDIVIDUALS AND COMMUNITIES, AND TO PROMOTE FUNDAMENTAL IMPROVEMENTS IN THE HEALTH STATUS OF ALL CALIFORNIANS

The Endowment believes that fulfilling its mission of improving the health of Californians depends primarily on three factors:

1. All Californians must have access to health services
2. Health systems must provide culturally competent, high-quality health services
3. Individuals and families must reside in communities that support health promotion and disease prevention.

From this belief we developed three overarching goals:

• ACCESS TO HEALTH
• CULTURALLY COMPETENT HEALTH SYSTEMS
• COMMUNITY HEALTH AND ELIMINATION OF HEALTH DISPARITIES
