The Healthy Weight Collaborative is a project of the Health Resources Services Administration (HRSA) and the National Initiative for Children's Healthcare Quality (NICHQ). Our shared vision is to create partnerships between primary care, public health, and community organizations to discover sustainable ways to promote healthy weight and eliminate health disparities. In San Diego County, Healthy Weight Collaborative efforts are focused in the community of Western Chula Vista. Partners include:
