Statewide Path Cited Investments Deliver Results Across California
كانون الثاني/يناير 27, 2026
139 منظمة مجتمعية تكمل المشاريع وتعزز رعاية Medi-Cal
SACRAMENTO — The California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) today announced a major milestone in Medi-Cal transformation: 139 organizations have successfully completed Round 1 projects under the Providing Access and Transforming Health (PATH) Capacity and Infrastructure, Transition, Expansion, and Development (CITED) grants. These organizations completed capacity-building projects designed to strengthen their ability to deliver Enhanced Care Management (ECM) and Community Supports, cornerstones of DHCS’ commitment to build a more equitable, person-centered Medi-Cal delivery system under California Advancing and Innovating Medi-Cal (CalAIM).
“PATH CITED Round 1 shows what’s possible when we invest in community-driven solutions,” said DHCS Director Michelle Baass. “These projects are improving access and coordination while laying the foundation for a Medi-Cal system that is more responsive, inclusive, and equitable for all Californians.”
WHAT THIS MEANS FOR CALIFORNIANS: Across the state, these projects expanded ECM and Community Supports by training hundreds of new staff, including care managers and outreach workers, investing in electronic health records to improve care coordination, and developing peer-led outreach models while hosting hundreds of community events to build trust with populations that have historically faced barriers to accessing care. Together, these efforts are creating a stronger, more equitable Medi-Cal delivery system that meets members where they are and delivers whole-person, community-based care.
تعمل ECM ودعم المجتمع على تحويل Medi-Cal عن طريق إبقاء الأشخاص ذوي الاحتياجات الصحية المعقدة خارج غرف الطوارئ ودور رعاية المسنين والتشرد. توفر هذه الخدمات تنسيقًا عمليًا للرعاية والدعم العملي - مثل التنقل في السكن والوجبات المصممة طبيًا والتعديلات المنزلية - التي تساعد الأعضاء على إدارة الحالات المزمنة والتعافي بأمان في المنزل. من خلال تلبية كل من الاحتياجات الطبية والاجتماعية، تمنع ECM والدعم المجتمعي الأزمات قبل حدوثها، مما يحسن النتائج الصحية ويقلل من زيارات المستشفيات المكلفة.
REAL IMPACT: A new video (above) showcases the voices of Round 1 awardees discussing the impact of these funds on their ability to serve Medi-Cal members. From expanding behavioral health services to launching innovative outreach programs, these stories highlight how local partners are becoming Medi-Cal providers and driving change that will result in lasting health benefits for Californians. Some successful projects include:
- In Humboldt County, Arcata House Partnership hired and trained community health workers, opened new office space, and launched services that help people stay housed.
- في مقاطعة لوس أنجلوس، دعم مركز إدمان الكحول للنساء 275 فردًا بين يناير 2023 ويونيو 2025 من خلال ECM، بما في ذلك عميل واحد تغلب على التشرد واضطراب تعاطي المخدرات ليصبح اختصاصي تجميل معتمدًا يتمتع بسكن مستقر وعمل.
BY THE NUMBERS:
- تلقى ما يقرب من 98000 بالغ و 30700 شاب خدمات ECM.
- تمكن حوالي 97,000 عضو من Medi-Cal من الوصول إلى دعم المجتمع.
- تم تعيين وتدريب أكثر من 4100 موظف جديد، بما في ذلك مديري الرعاية والعاملين في مجال التوعية، مما عزز قدرة المنظمات المحلية على توفير الرعاية الكاملة للشخص.
- At least 10 counties, including Del Norte, Humboldt, and Modoc, began providing ECM and Community Supports for the first time, bringing CalAIM’s whole-person care approach to areas that had zero access just months earlier.
BACKGROUND: Launched in early 2023, PATH CITED Round 1 awarded $203 million in grant funding to a diverse group of organizations, community-based organizations, county agencies, Tribal entities, hospitals, and Medi-Cal managed care plan partners to expedite adoption of new services, contract directly with plans, and implement billing systems for innovative care models. These investments help new and existing providers integrate into the Medi-Cal system and sustain services beyond PATH funding.
LOOKING AHEAD: DHCS extends its deepest gratitude to all Round 1 awardees for their dedication, innovation, and commitment to improving the lives of Medi-Cal members. These organizations have built trust, expanded access, and laid the groundwork for lasting change in communities across California.

ومن المتوقع أن يتم الانتهاء من مشاريع الجولة الثانية في وقت مبكر من هذا العام، مع استمرار هذا الزخم. حتى الآن، منحت DHCS أكثر من 1.66 مليار دولار لأكثر من 2200 منظمة من خلال مبادرات PATH، بما في ذلك CITED،والتخطيط التعاوني والتنفيذ ، وبرنامج بناء القدرات المتعلقة بالعدالة ، وسوق المساعدة الفنية.
