The Network for a Healthy California— Gold Coast Region is one of eleven regions funded by the US Department of Agriculture (USDA), and the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) Cancer Prevention Nutrition Section (CPNS). Ventura County Public Health was awarded the grant in January 2005 to create innovative partnerships that empower low-income Californians in the Gold Coast Region, which consists of San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara and Ventura Counties, to increase fruit and vegetable consumption, physical activity and food security with the goal of preventing obesity and other diet-related chronic diseases.
