The UCLA Center for Healthier Children, Families and Communities is a multi-disciplinary program of the David Geffen School of Medicine, Department of Pediatrics, and the UCLA School of Public Health, with faculty participation from the UCLA School of Public Policy & Social Research, School of Law, and the College of Letters and Sciences. The Center's mission is to improve society's ability to provide children with the best opportunities for health and well-being, and the chance to assume productive roles within families and communities.

By uniting a broad array of specialists - from pediatrics, public health, preventive medicine, education, mental health, economics, communications, law, and public policy - with families, community groups, providers and businesses, the Center aims to:

• Improve the health of children, families, and communities by developing innovative and responsive service programs;

• Increase the efficiency, effectiveness, and distribution of health and social services; and

• Assist communities in transforming themselves into healthier environments for their children.
