Planners and Public Health 
Professionals for a 
Healthier California

The Planners4Health Initiative is an endeavor to increase local capacity for creating stronger, healthier communities. The initiative focuses on promoting greater coordination between planners and public health professionals at the state, regional and local levels.

In partnership with the California Planning Roundtable, APA California received a $70,000 grant (for the period February to July, 2017) to help build local capacity for integrating planning and public health. The Planners4Health initiative is part of APA’s Plan4Health three-year, $9 million program to help communities combat determinants of chronic disease – lack of physical activity and lack of access to nutritious foods. Funding for the initiative was provided through a grant from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

The first two years of Plan4Health focused on place-based initiatives. California participated in the second cohort through a project based in Sacramento called “Design 4 Active Sacramento (D4AS)” that brought together professional engineers, planners and public health professionals to create streets that are conducive to safely walking, biking and living through active design. 
 
​The Planners4Health initiative includes a dynamic Planners4Health Curriculum Series that is available to the public.

Through the initiative, APA California used the grant funding to kick start opportunities  to broadly share knowledge and resources amongts planners and public health professionals.  The ultimate goal is that they can serve their communities more effectively  and support them to promote better healthy living opportunities and choices.

APA California will continue to work to bring together key stakeholders, leverage existing healthy community initiatives and efforts underway, and share planning and public health information.
