The California Endowment is a private, California-focused health foundation〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Company Overview of The California Endowment )〕 that advocates for health and health equity, and raises awareness of how and where health can happen. The Endowment does this by fighting to expand access to affordable, quality health care for underserved communities, and investing in fundamental improvements for the health of all Californians. Founded in 1996, The California Endowment supports the statewide (Health Happens Here ) campaign which is reframing the conversation around health care from medical settings and individual choices to the idea that our health happens in neighborhoods, schools, and through aggressive prevention measures. In support of the Health Happens Here campaign, The Endowment is currently engaged in a 10-year (Building Healthy Communities ) place-based plan. Launched in 2010, residents, community-based organizations and public institutions in 14 underserved communities across California are working to bring health back to their communities through advocacy and community organizing using 10 specific outcomes that will build community health as their framework. The Endowment is headquartered in Los Angeles, California, with regional offices in Sacramento, Oakland, Fresno and San Diego.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.calendow.org/about/contact_us.aspx )〕 == History == The California Endowment is a (conversion foundation ) and was founded in 1996 following the creation of Blue Cross subsidiary WellPoint Health Networks. Over the course of its history, The California Endowment has invested in health broadly, from strengthening the safety net for families struggling with poverty to diversifying the health care workforce to disease-specific initiatives that worked to reduce and prevent chronic health conditions. The lessons learned from these early investments were the genesis for Health Happens Here’s three areas of focus – neighborhoods, schools and prevention – and the 10-year, $1 billion Building Healthy Communities plan. By taking an upstream approach that emphasizes prevention on a community level, The Endowment believes that it can improve the health of all Californians. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The California Endowment」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
