This is part of The California Endowment's Health Happens Here (La Salud Empieza Aqui) campaign. The project is seeking to reframe the conversation around health care from medical settings and individual choices to the idea that health happens in neighborhoods, schools and through prevention.

    


Everyone Bring Everyone!


Catalyst is calling all catalysts, change-makers, social entrepreneurs, and community organizers for an annual gathering!

The Assembly of the Catalyst Network of Communities is a unifying community experience that provides a tangible connection between individuals and organizations throughout our various relational networks while showcasing the impact that collaboration has on our city.

The idea is for everyone to bring everyone! Not just a representative - but bring your entire organization, network, family, friends, co-workers, associates, members, customers, and constituents. Imagine what would happen when we all just show up!

Watch the video from
last year's Assembly!
