Last week, NHF hosted our first two Care First Community Investment FREE Produce Distribution events ~ the FAIR program! In times like these when communities are facing increased food insecurity, certain communities like those involved in the justice system face even more barriers. We’re happy to be able to fill in this gap with our services and partners.

Join us in welcoming La'Shawnda Cater as NHF's new Director of Nursing! Let's hear from La'Shawnda about why she joined NHF...

"Hi everyone! My name is La'Shawnda Cater, and I am pleased to join a mission-driven team that's committed to improving the health of individuals and under-resourced communities.

I am a proud two-time graduate of the University of Alabama at Huntsville, where I earned both my BSN and MSN degrees. My passion has always been serving the most vulnerable in our community, and I am honored to bring that focus to NHF!

When I’m not at the NHF’s recuperative sites, I love spending my free time taking care of my plants, spending time with my family and loved ones, and attending live music concerts. 🪴🎶 I am so excited to begin this journey!"

Our latest NHF research explores recuperative care length of stay (LOS) and housing outcomes—and the results are encouraging! On average, guests improve their housing readiness across all lengths of stay, but there is a sweet spot. Read about the research on our new blog post (link in bio) and stay tuned for more findings in 2026.

Our Story

We are a team of ‘upstreamists’ who believe that health can be improved by addressing the root causes of health disparities.

Two innovative thinkers at the Hospital Association of Southern California were responsible for dreaming up National Health Foundation, 44 years ago, as a way to extend the impact the association could have on improving healthcare. Since then, NHF has been working closely with stakeholders on a variety of health issues. However, just as the field of public health has evolved over the years, so has National Health Foundation. Today our approach is more at the community level, while retaining that connection to hospitals.

Working so closely with community members has given National Health Foundation insight into health experiences and disparities, and their very root causes. This insight has lead National Health Foundation to where it is today, with a new mission and vision that focus on remedying health inequities by taking action on the social determinants of health.

Never before has National Health Foundation been more entrenched in the communities it seeks to serve. And one would argue because of that, never before has National Health Foundation had such clear, direct impact on the health of Southern Californians.
