Protecting Care for Our Patients

Changes to Medicaid and Medi-Cal funding have pushed LA Health Services into a budget crisis. To help protect patient care, we are relocating services to make better use of our resources and help keep costs down.

Three of our community health centers have moved or will move to nearby locations. Patients will continue to receive the care they need at the new location. Patients affected by these changes have already been contacted with details about their new clinic location.

No other locations are changing. Our hospitals and more than 20 community health centers remain open and ready to care for our patients.

We are committed to delivering high‑quality, compassionate, and accessible care—no matter your income, insurance coverage, immigration status, or background.

Our staff and healthcare teams work together to ensure that you and your family feel safe, respected, involved, and cared for every step of the way.

Here are 3 important tips to make sure you have a successful visit at your medical home:

    MAKE YOUR APPOINTMENT. The phone numbers to make an appointment can be found HERE. You can also use the LA Health Portal to check upcoming appointments and request new appointments. To sign-up for the LA Health Portal, click here.

    BE ON TIME FOR YOUR APPOINTMENT. Give yourself plenty of time to get to your clinic and find parking. Call your clinic if you need directions. If you are late, you may have to be rescheduled.
  • null
    WRITE DOWN YOUR QUESTIONS. Our doctors and nurses are here to answer your questions. By talking to your health care team, you will learn about your diagnosis and treatments, which can improve your health.

Call right away if you need to cancel. This allows the doctor to see someone else.
