LWLC works together to better understand how factors like housing, education, and access to physical and mental healthcare affect opportunities for health in Lake County, and what we need to do to make health a reality for all. LWLC involves and centers the voices of community members throughout this process, especially those from communities hardest hit by health inequities. It is comprised of representatives from a variety of community-based organizations, government agencies, health care systems and academic institutions.

For years, the coalition has conducted the comprehensive Community Health Assessment (CHA) and is now developing the next Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP). Priority areas for the 2022 CHIP include physical and mental health, education and housing. As  a veteran member of the LWLC Steering Committee, Executive Director, Maggie Morales serves as a knowledgeable resource in helping to drive this critical work while prioritizing community issues and shaping data-driven strategies to promote positive social change for all of Lake County.
