“SB 344 will ensure that we have the accurate, comprehensive, demographically diverse, and up-to-date surveillance data that serves as the foundation for cancer research – which means more, and more targeted, life-saving cancer trials, treatments, and prevention.” –Matthew Marsom, Senior Vice President at the Public Health Institute.

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.
