Latino Advisory Council

Vision

Mission/Purpose

To encourage the Latino community’s engagement in philanthropy and volunteerism that benefit the children and families served at CHOC. The Latino Advisory Council supports and promotes CHOC through collaborative partnerships and philanthropic engagement with the greater Latino community. The Latino Advisory Council will primarily focus its efforts on Wellness on Wheels (WoW), a comprehensive program that will provide a broad range of needed services in the most underserved communities in OC. WoW’s goals are to dismantle barriers to healthcare access that have historically resulted in health disparities among our county’s most vulnerable.
