A Comprehensive, Community-Driven COVID Response

PHI’s Together Toward Health (TTH) is a statewide initiative that supports over 500 community-based organizations (CBOs) that work on reducing the spread of COVID-19 in California's most impacted communities. Since launching in 2020, TTH has disbursed over $33 million to CBOs like churches, health centers, community centers, local coalitions and more—who then serve as trusted experts for COVID-19 education, testing and vaccination access in their communities.
