Healthier Worksites

Worksite Wellness LA is a 501(c)(3)-designated nonprofit organization founded in 1996 out of a need to bring preventive health education and access to healthcare resources to a largely Spanish-speaking population of low-income, uninsured workers in Los Angeles County. With initial programming designed to address the needs of low-income, medically underserved workers in South, Central, and East Los Angeles, our organization partnered early with many local, light-manufacturing and food packaging companies to bring their workforce lunchtime seminars about wellness and no-cost/low-cost health care services.

Despite our many success stories, there is still a lack of effective messaging regarding healthy lifestyle choices available to workers in Los Angeles County. Lower English literacy rates, distrust in the system, and lack of training all contribute to a deficiency of knowledge about healthy living, available healthcare, and social services among those we serve.

Workers and their families too easily slip through the cracks never receiving the full care their hard work deserves.

Worksite Wellness LA aims to bridge that gap by educating, coaching, and counseling hardworking laborers and creating an opportunity to retain the services they and their families need.
