WPC-LA provides resources across all of LA County and enrollment depends on an individual’s eligibility for a given program in WPC-LA. Health delivery entities in LA County with County-operated facilities have the opportunity to access WPC-LA resources for their participants.  All CBOs, such as hospitals, and clinics serving eligible WPC-LA participants may refer to WPC.  However, please note that different programs use different points of entry, and some WPC programs do not take direct community referrals.  Many WPC-LA programs identify participants at points of care (e.g. County jails, Mental Health facilities) or through existing county-wide risk-assessment and resource allocation systems (e.g. the Coordinated Entry System). Some programs also provide services to eligible County residents regardless of their region or affiliation (e.g. health plan, provider). For example, a participant returning home from County jail to a region without a county facility will have a similar opportunity to enroll in WPC as a participant returning to a home region with multiple county facilities. Please, see the “WPC Referral Overview” document for specific information on how you can access WPC-LA resources.
