SUMMARY
Jurisdictions are becoming increasingly aware that cities play a critical role in supporting the health and well-being of their communities. In addition to the built environment, social and economic conditions are important factors determining an individual's health. As such, Community Health Improvement Partners recently received funding through the Center for Disease Control and Prevention's Racial and Ethnic Approaches to Community Healthy (REACH) program to promote healthy eating and physical activity to Latinos living in Chula Vista's 91910 and 91911 zip codes. The project will provide the City with technical assistance and staff time funding to develop policies and plans supporting healthy food access and active transportation.
