To support CHCF’s vision of health equity for all Californians, the foundation has launched the Health Equity Fellows program to identify, develop, and support emerging leaders who are Black, Indigenous, or other people of color. The program’s mission is to help fellows become local and regional catalysts for health equity across the state.
After an extremely competitive application process, CHCF selected the first cohort of four health equity fellows — a group that represents California’s geographic and cultural diversity and brings a wealth of experience and perspectives to the foundation’s work. The fellows will be full-time CHCF staff members through October 2023.
“The inaugural cohort of CHCF health equity fellows is full of rising stars who are working to make California’s systems of care more just,” said Sandra R. Hernández, MD, president and CEO of CHCF. “We are delighted that the fellows will bring their demonstrated commitment to racial and economic equity to CHCF and to the philanthropy world.”
