The Central California Public Health Partnership (PHP) is a
relatively new and unique regional planning approach dedicated to
addressing the lack of comprehensive community health care systems
endemic to the Central San Joaquin Valley, influencing access to
health care services, and providing cultural and linguistic
competency training. Facilitated by the Central California Center
for Health and Human Services at California State University,
Fresno, the PHP and its closely related Central California Public
Health Training Academy are collaborative partnerships of the
University’s College of Health and Human Services and the Fresno
County Community Health Department, the Kern County Department of
Public Health, the Kings County Department of Public Health, the
Madera County Public Health Department, the Merced County Public
Health Department, and the Tulare County Health and Human Services
Agency. Together these entities represent the six largest rural
counties in the Central San Joaquin Valley with a total population
of over two million people. Currently, the PHP is focusing on issues
related to diabetes prevention among residents in this diverse area.
Students will be involved in all aspects of this research and will
be assigned independent research projects.
