Health, Equity & Environmental Justice Policy Framework

This Framework is designed to ensure that all Petaluma’s community members can live healthy lives. It does so by aiming to meet state requirements on six specific topic areas, like reducing pollution exposure, increasing food access, and promoting physical activity, safe and sanitary homes, and public/community engagement.

Across all six topic areas, the Framework prioritizes improvements and programs that help some of our most vulnerable community members in particular access these fundamental needs. This framework also works to highlight public health in policy making.
