LA Net
What we do
At LA Net, we believe lasting change happens when communities lead the way. We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in Los Angeles, working side-by-side with primary care providers, schools, community-based organizations, and local residents to build healthier, more equitable neighborhoods—especially for those who have been historically underserved.
Our mission is rooted in partnership. Whether we’re improving care at local clinics, co-designing youth programs, or building tools that help families access food, housing, and support—we center the voices and wisdom of the people closest to the challenges.
Together, we’re creating a future where everyone has a fair chance to live well, learn, and thrive.
What We Do
Supporting Clinics and Community Organizations
We partner with clinics, schools, and grassroots groups to strengthen their capacity to serve. From coaching and training for Practice Facilitators, to co-developing improvement strategies and learning networks, we help frontline teams redesign services from the inside out—guided by those they serve.
Co-Designing Research That Reflects Real Lives
We don’t just conduct research—we co-create it. Our studies are designed with community members, patients, and providers at the table from the start. Whether it's a practice-based study or a participatory evaluation, we ensure that those most impacted by systems help shape how they are studied, understood, and improved.
Building Health Technology That Works for Everyone
We believe technology should reflect the people who use it. That’s why we co-design digital tools like multilingual screening apps, virtual care navigation systems, and SDOH care management platforms—often in direct collaboration with Community Health Workers and clinic staff. These tools are built to support real-life workflows and real community needs.
Empowering Youth as Designers and Leaders
Our work with youth is grounded in trust and possibility. We support programs that nurture leadership, creativity, and skills—co-designed with youth and the adults who mentor them. From strength-based program evaluation to mastery-based learning design, we help young people grow into the change agents our communities need.
