About Us

To improve local coordination and implementation of nutrition education programs, the Network for a Healthy California (the Network) was developed by the California Department of Public Health (CDHS) www.cdph.ca.gov, Cancer Prevention and Nutrition Section (CPNS ) www.cdph.ca.gov/programs/CPNS. The Network grant was made possible through funding from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) www.usda.gov/wps/portal/usdahome Food Stamp Program.

Orange Region, which consists only of Orange County, is one of the eleven statewide regions that received the Network grant. The County of Orange Health Care Agency plays an active role as the Network lead agency, responsible for coordinating and supporting Network-funded projects and developing partnerships and collaborations to help low-income populations adopt healthy eating and physical activity lifestyles in their communities.
