Celebrating 17 Years of Community Impact at HARC!

As HARC (Health Assessment and Research for Communities) marks its 17th anniversary, we're looking back on a remarkable journey dedicated to advancing the quality of life. Founded in 2006, we've been on a mission to help community leaders translate data into action through objective research and analysis.

Our expertise lies in understanding the social determinants of health-those factors that deeply influence our well-being, such as education, housing, jobs, and opportunities. We believe that every community deserves a chance to thrive.

Our flagship project, the Coachella Valley Health Survey, has been a cornerstone of our work. Every three years, we conduct an in-depth survey to provide valuable health insights to nonprofits, hospitals, educational institutions, and government agencies.

These insights have played a crucial role in securing funding, developing programs, and driving positive change in the Coachella Valley, bringing in millions of dollars to support our community.

HARC is more than an organization; it's a community of passionate individuals working together to create a healthier, happier life for all. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our Board of Directors, partners, donors, and everyone who's been a part of our journey.

Here's to 17 years of growth, impact, and community!
