Welcome to the California Department of Health Care Services 

Kern County

The Kern County Camino de Salud Network will implement a comprehensive health coverage program for the uninsured and indigent population in Kern County, who are currently using Kern Medical Center’s (KMC) Emergency Department as their provider of last resort and have incomes below 200 percent of the FPL.  Through this program, the uninsured will have access to a package of health services including primary and preventive care,  specialized outpatient services, and ancillary and diagnostic services targeted to detect, treat and monitor health problems in order to reduce the burden of disease and improve health.
