A New Opportunity to Support San Mateo County Children

I joined HPP as a Community Health Planner in 2021 to chart a new direction for the Community Collaboration for Children’s Success (CCCS). It’s been a privilege to work closely with community partners in North Fair Oaks/Redwood City to develop a thriving Neighborhood Action Team. The learnings from that collaboration have inspired a new CCCS group in South San Francisco (invitation below). In the past two years, HPP has funded and advised innovative youth programs and partnerships in Daly City and East Palo Alto as well.

Celebrating our Successful Collaboration in North Fair Oaks & Redwood City
Staff perspective by Mai Le

The North Fair Oaks/Redwood City Community Collaboration for Children’s Success (NFO/RWC CCCS) Neighborhood Action Team recently gathered for a celebration at the Redwood Shores Library. We played games, enjoyed fajitas, and even sang some karaoke! Rafael Avendano, Executive Director of Redwood City Together, highlighted achievements and invited folks to reflect on our work together.

Voting For Our Health
Staff perspective by Mai Le

For many people, voting is not top of mind when they think of public health interventions. But there is a body of growing research to suggest that civic engagement, which includes voting, volunteering, and joining community groups, is associated with better mental and physical health. These are community-oriented activities that improve individual health. To me what this data says is that what we do together matters.

Continuing to Collaborate for Children’s Success

Hello! My name is Mai (pronounced like “my”) and I am so happy to introduce myself as a new Community Health Planner with San Mateo County Health Policy and Planning (HPP). I’ll be working to move the Community Collaboration for Children’s Success (CCCS) forward and support our civic empowerment and health initiatives.
