139の地域団体がプロジェクトを完了し、メディケアを強化​​ 

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.​​  

ECM とコミュニティ サポートは、複雑な健康ニーズを持つ人々が緊急治療室、老人ホーム、ホームレス状態にならないようにすることで、Medi-Cal を変革しています。これらのサービスでは、住宅案内、医療に合わせた食事、住宅の改修など、実践的なケアの調整と実用的なサポートを提供し、会員が慢性疾患を管理し、自宅で安全に回復できるよう支援します。ECM とコミュニティ サポートは、医療ニーズと社会ニーズの両方に対応することで、危機が起こる前にそれを防止し、健康状態を改善し、コストのかかる病院への通院を減らします。​​  

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.​​  
• ロサンゼルス郡では、女性アルコール依存症センターが2023年1月から2025年6月までの間にECMを通じて275人を支援しました。その中には、ホームレスと薬物乱用障害を克服し、安定した住居と雇用を得て認定美容師になったクライアントも含まれています。​​ 

BY THE NUMBERS:​​ 

• 約 98,000 人の成人と 30,700 人の青少年が ECM サービスを受けました。​​  
• 約 97,000 人の Medi-Cal 会員がコミュニティ サポートにアクセスしました。​​  
• ケアマネージャーやアウトリーチワーカーを含む 4,100 人以上の新規スタッフが雇用され、研修を受け、地域組織の全人的ケア提供能力が強化されました。​​  
• 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.

第2ラウンドのプロジェクトは今年初めに完了する予定で、この勢いは継続される見込みです。現在までに、DHCSはPATHイニシアチブ（CITED、共同計画・実施、司法関連能力構築プログラム、技術支援マーケットプレイスなど）を通じて、2,200以上の組織に16億6,000万ドル以上を助成してきました。​​
