At LA Health Services, our mission is clear: to advance the health of our patients and communities by providing extraordinary care.
This mission is our foundation for serving over 500,000 people each year across Los Angeles County. It shapes the way we support our workforce, improve systems, and build trust with those who rely on us.
Our Core Values
We live our values every day — in every clinic, hospital, mobile team, and community program.
We are guided by six core values:
- Welcoming – Open and respectful to all
- Inclusive – Honoring every identity and background
- Compassionate – Serving with empathy and kindness
- Excellent – Delivering the highest standard of care
- Innovative – Embracing technology and new ideas
- Accountable – Acting with integrity and transparency
A Vision for Health, Equity, and Trust
As the largest public health system in California — and the second largest in the nation — we are committed to building a healthcare system that is rooted in equity, driven by purpose, and trusted by all. This means delivering care that recognizes the whole person, addressing health disparities, and listening deeply to the communities we serve.
