Los Angeles Healthy Aging and Chronic Disease Data Dashboard
The Los Angeles Health Aging and Chronic Disease Data Dashboard summarizes data on the quality of life of older adults across Los Angeles County. The dashboard also provides data to support community members in applying for their own respective grants and creating innovative programs aimed to improve the lives of older adults in Los Angeles County.
In December 2023, LAACHA Outcomes & Evaluation Committee introduced the Dashboard at a LAACHA Quarterly Membership Meeting. This introduction was recorded to serve as a training video of this powerful tool. Click here to access the video.
The Outcomes & Evaluations Committee meets virtually every 2nd Tuesday, 11AM - 12PM, to discuss ways available data can support LAACHA members, reduce health & racial disparities, and other committees’ needs.
We welcome new members and curious visitors with a niche in data research and evaluation.
