Our Vision

​California Planners, members and non-members of the American Planning Association, value the critical involvement of public health professionals in planning processes.  The Planners4Health California Initiative serves as the knowledge and practice bridge linking planners and public health professionals to achieve healthier, more inclusive and equitable communities.

Our Mission

The Planners4Health-California Initiative provides a framework for collaboration, tools and networking opportunities for planners and public health advocates across the State to improve health outcomes through the application of equity and healthy communities’ principles.

“California planners have been leaders in making communities healthier places to live.  
The Planners4Health initiative provides a great opportunity to build an even
​stronger connection between planners and public health professionals.”
