Healthy People 2020

Health starts in our homes, schools, places of worship, workplaces, neighborhoods, and communities. Taking care of ourselves by eating well and staying active, not smoking, getting the recommended immunizations and screening tests, and seeing a doctor when we are sick all influence our health.

Our health is also determined in part by access to social and economic opportunities; the resources and supports available in our homes, neighborhoods, and communities; the quality of our schooling; the safety of our workplaces; the cleanliness of our water, food, and air; and the nature of our social interactions and relationships. The conditions in which we live explain in part why some Americans are healthier than others and why Americans more generally are not as healthy as they could be.

Activities

Food Insecurity

Compton Community Outreach is dedicated to stepping up our efforts in addressing food insecurity through cooperative efforts with the local community. Our goal is to promote relevant opportunities for those in need, believing that - with access to correct information, and the right resources, people can become empowered by their own abilities and gain the confidence to fulfill their potential.
