The plan was formally adopted in 2015 and contains several components. You can access a PDF of the Plan for a Healthy Los Angeles, which details the Goals, Policies, Objectives, and implementation Programs related to health and environmental justice. The plan was influenced by several supporting documents.

The city also released an interactive version of the Health Atlas, which includes health-focused profiles by Community Plan Area.
