Community Health Councils (CHC) is a non-profit, community-based health education and policy organization. Established in 1992, our mission is to promote social justice and achieve equity in community and environmental resources to improve the health and well-being of underserved populations.
Passionate, driven, and community-centered people are the driving force in our work at CHC. These people are the catalyst for impact, innovation, and partnership. To commemorate our 25th Anniversary, we created an award that honors a person that has personally been a force in uplifting CHC’s work.
On September 28th, we will present the first “Catalyst Award” to Gwendolyn Flynn, CHC’s former Policy Director of 17 years for her relentless pursuit of uplifting CHC and South LA from behind-the-scenes and at the forefront of our work together.

Our 25th Anniversary Celebration is not just about commemorating CHC's work. It is about honoring those that have been instrumental to CHC and South LA. On September 28th, we will unveil and award the first-ever “Lark Legacy Award,” an award created in honor of Lark Galloway-Gilliam, our beloved founding Executive Director of CHC. Even after her passing, Lark’s passion for community-centered social justice remains a vibrant part of CHC’s vision.
We are excited to announce that Supervisor Mark Ridley-Thomas will be awarded the inaugural Lark Legacy Award for his unwavering determination and leadership to improve the conditions in South LA, and because of the inspiration he has provided to many of us working alongside him.

We are thankful to Democrats for protecting what we have, and to Republican Senators Collins, Murkowski, and McCain. Read more on our blog! chc-inc.org/aca-repeal-plans-failed-senate/
