  • “COVID-19 has moved like a heat-seeking missile into California’s Black and Brown communities… The racialized disproportionality is impossible to ignore and represents the culmination of deep legacies of oppression and exclusion that have again been starkly unmasked.”

    —Dr. Tony Iton, The California Endowment

“All Californians, and especially Latino, African Americans and others who face disproportionate risks from COVID-19, need support, trustworthy information, and evidence-based health interventions.
Our most impacted communities need to be represented and embedded in our solutions to address the pandemic and they need a path to economic vitality once it has ended. Working closely with community based organizations will help us assure appropriate local engagement.”

—PHI President and CEO Mary A. Pittman, DrPH
