National Health Foundation is a nonprofit organization in the wellness and fitness services sector that works to remove barriers to health in under-resourced Southern California communities. Its focus areas include housing, food access, the built environment, and education, with the aim of improving the social and physical conditions that influence health outcomes. The organization serves residents who face economic and educational disparities, seeking lasting improvements in health by changing local environments and empowering individuals to make healthier choices. Based in Los Angeles, California, and founded in 1973, NHF engages in advocacy and program work designed to address root causes of poor health and support access to essential needs. A recent development includes collaborations and capacity-building efforts to enhance services, such as initiatives related to congregate meal sites for older adults and partnerships to support youth-led programs within its Be a STAR initiative.
