Healthy People Initiative: In the spring of 2009 when new health indicators were released to the public, it was discovered that the Antelope Valley has the highest health disparities in Los Angeles for asthma, heart disease, lung cancer, smoking, suicide, depression and infant mortality. AVPH has taken the lead in this initiative which is a community wide outreach and education program to address these disparities. Some of our Healthy People Initiative events include Kids Cook-off and Healthy Day Celebration.
