Fiscal Year 2025 Expanded Hours. - 1. Overview: Founded in 1969, AltaMed is a non-profit 501(c)(3) Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC). Now the largest FQHC in California, AltaMed’s regional health network offers a medical home with a full range of primary care, enabling and social service programs to low-income underserved communities for over 276,000 predominantly Latino children, youths, adults and seniors, 9% of which are uninsured. AltaMed employs almost 4,000 dynamic professionals and para-professionals who are linguistically and culturally familiar with the population we serve. With 52 sites (36 primary care clinics and 16 additional service sites) serving Los Angeles and Orange Counties, AltaMed’s mission is, “To eliminate disparities in health care access and outcomes by providing superior quality health and human services through an integrated world class delivery system for Latino, multi-ethnic and underserved communities”. AltaMed enhances its work through the provision of ongoing culturally- and linguistically-appropriate health education and wellness promotion in strategic collaboration with schools, faith-based organizations, and other community-based organizations. 2.

Website: www.altamed.org 4. Requested Funding: AltaMed is requesting $500,000 per program year ($1,000,000 total). 5. Health Center Program: H80CS00142-22-00 6. Target & Objectives: With over 40 million residents spread across 58 counties, California represents a massive challenge when addressing the primary health care needs for vulnerable populations. In Los Angeles and Orange County alone, there are ~10 million and 4 million residents, respectively. AltaMed and other FQHCs provide a significant amount of health services for these residents, especially those who are low-income and/or culturally and linguistically isolated. AltaMed is proposing to expand service hours at its clinic in Orange and its three LA housing complex located clinics at Estrada Courts, William Mead, and Ramona Gardens. This expansion will increase accessibility for patients in these areas, with increased physician time in the clinics and reduced wait times for necessary care.
