Non-Profit Organization brings in Partners to Consult on Community Benefit ProgramA non-profit hospital that has been one of the longest standing and premier facilities in the Long Beach area and funded as a Disproportionate Share Hospital is home to a substantial immigrant community that comes mostly from Mexico, Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam. Median income for the area is below the national average and many neighborhoods are considered “underserved.” Services to this community include multilingual, multicultural social and education programs focusing on health promotion, disease prevention and healthcare access.

Partners in Care an Early Member of the Access to Care Collaborative Dedicated to Creating Timely Access to Care for the Working, Poor Uninsured in the San Fernando ValleyThe Access to Care Collaborative was formed in 2001 to create new access and continue to care for working uninsured adults in the SFV who have little or no access to care, who often suffer from chronic and debilitating disease. Early detection, treatment and coaching for self-care can preserve precious healthcare resources. By diagnosing and treating these diseases, especially diabetes, early and collaborating with partners who share a like mission, both suffering and costs will be mitigated. Through hospital leadership, forming collaborative partnerships with other community clinics and safety-net providers, the Access to Care Collaborative (ACC) was established in 2001 in response to the uninsured crisis in Los Angeles. Strategic planning developed a model of expanding the capacity of current community and free medical clinics in the San Fernando Valle by recruiting and coordinating volunteer physicians, nurses, and other healthcare and lay professionals. |
