Public Health Advocates is a non-profit organization focused on creating healthier neighborhoods and schools by addressing physical, social, and economic conditions that influence well-being. Based in Davis, California, the group works to transform local environments into settings where health can be realized for all residents, including students and families. With a history dating back to its founding as the California Center for Public Health Advocacy, it supports community and educational spaces through research, policy work, and targeted initiatives, such as developing resource guides during public health emergencies. The organization operates with a regional emphasis in California and engages a staff size typical of non-profit advocacy groups, delivering expertise aimed at improving public health outcomes at the neighborhood and school level. A notable recent development is the retirement of its longtime executive director after 26 years of leadership, marking a leadership transition for the organization. }
