WHAT'S
NEW.

Re-Launch

After taking an extended hiatus during the pandemic, the GHCC has reorganized with a new focus and activities -- aimed at offering greater value to our members and community with a bias to action. Learn more about what we do HERE.

​

The re-launch includes a series of quarterly events, to revitalize through a focus on:

  1. Connecting our partners and adding new members

  2. Building teams who will collaborate on health projects of mutual interest, and drive action.

  3. Education and information sharing.

​

Leadership

Now more community-driven, the Glendale and Foothill YMCA's will serve as the new “backbone” organization. Their combined longstanding commitment to our communities will be a great asset in administrative and organizing capacities.

MISSION & VISION.

We envision a future where health, well-being, and belonging are accessible to everyone.

​

We serve as a convener, bringing together people, ideas, and assets to solve our most pressing health needs.

 

We embrace a broad definition of health which includes the wider spectrum of environmental influences impacting the community’s well-being. The Glendale Healthier Community Coalition plans and implements projects that promote disease prevention, health education, clean and safe environments, adequate housing, affordable and quality education, and community revitalization.

HISTORY.

​Over its 30+ year history, the GHCC has brought together 52 organizational and individual community members including 14 from health care, nine from city government, two from education, seven from business/media, 11 from non-profit agencies, several clergy, and the balance made up of other community stakeholders.
