Established in 2018, Ours LBC (Health) is a community-owned platform dedicated to addressing Long Beach’s health inequities through editorial independence and rigorous data privacy practices. While we partner with organizations such as LA Care Health, Covered CA, and HealthSherpa to provide accurate health care navigation tools, our content remains free from corporate influence. We do not sell user data, track browsing behavior, or use third-party ads, ensuring that your engagement with our platform remains confidential and aligned with Long Beach’s unique health needs.
Our hyperlocal focus prioritizes the voices of residents and advocates who understand the gaps in county health reports—gaps that often leave marginalized communities without adequate resources. By centering health equity in every story, guide, and analysis, we aim to empower Long Beachers to demand better systems. All partnerships are transparently disclosed, and our editorial team operates independently to maintain accountability to the community, not to advertisers or sponsors.
Transparency is core to our mission. We are not owned by health insurers, tech companies, or national media outlets. Our revenue model relies on partnerships that support local health advocacy without compromising our commitment to privacy or independence.
