The Network for a Healthy California— Gold Coast Region is one of 11 funded Regional Networks that together provide services to all California counties and are working to create environments to help low-income Californians eat healthy, get regular physical activity, increase food security with the goal of preventing obesity and other diet-related chronic diseases.

Designed to cross over traditional political, geographic and organizational boundaries, the Regional Networks conduct activities in three major areas:

1.  Maximize Local Impact – The Regional Networks provide training, coordination and communications support to all Network-funded projects and other stakeholders in the region.

2. Mobilize Community Action – Each region includes a Regional Collaborative – individuals, organizations, advocates, community leaders, businesses and others with expertise in nutrition, physical activity, hunger prevention/food security, and under-served communities. The Regional Networks provide administrative support to the Regional Collaboratives and facilitate nutrition education initiatives that make it easier for low-income Californians to adopt healthy eating and physical activity lifestyles in their communities
