ສູນການຄຸ້ມຄອງວິກິດການໃໝ່ຄາດວ່າຈະໃຫ້ບໍລິການຫຼາຍກວ່າ 2,500 ບຸກຄົນຕໍ່ປີ.
SACRAMENTO — On February 7, 2025, the Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) and CRI-Help announced the grand opening of the Substance Use Disorder (SUD) Crisis Management Hub: A Fully Integrated Behavioral Health Campus project in Los Angeles County. The site includes an adult residential SUD treatment facility, an intensive outpatient treatment SUD facility, and a sobering center. These combined facilities are projected to serve more than 2,500 individuals annually.
The SUD Crisis Management Hub project was funded by Round 5 of DHCS’ Behavioral Health Continuum Infrastructure Program (BHCIP). DHCS awarded CRI-Help more than $21 million through BHCIP, which is part of California’s ongoing commitment to expand behavioral health services for all Californians. With the passage of Proposition 1, even more behavioral health treatment facilities will be funded and built in 2025 and 2026.
“Facilities like these that are part of the SUD Crisis Management Hub treat not only the crises, but also the core concerns of people seeking help with their SUDs, so they can pursue continuous recovery,” said DHCS Director Michelle Baass. “DHCS is pleased to partner with CRI-Help to make this facility a reality and to bring high-quality behavioral health care to this community.”
CRI-HELP: CRI-Help’s SUD Crisis Management Hub project immediately increases the availability of outpatient and residential crisis services for low-income adults in the downtown and east Los Angeles areas. This project includes three programs:
Together, these facilities will provide screenings, group counseling, patient education, family therapy group sessions, motivational interviewing, recovery efforts, and warm handoffs to other levels of care.
“With the addition of a sobering center funded by BHCIP that provides comprehensive recovery services, we are redefining what accessible, compassionate care looks like in the Los Angeles area,” said CRI-Help President and CEO Brandon Fernandez. “This campus stands as a beacon of innovation and inclusivity for people seeking a second chance in life.”
WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT: Through BHCIP, DHCS awards eligible entities funding to construct, acquire, and expand properties and invest in mobile crisis infrastructure to further expand the range of community-based behavioral health treatment options for people with co-occurring mental health treatment needs and SUDs. BHCIP is addressing historic gaps in the behavioral health care system to meet the growing demand for services and supports throughout the lifespan of people in need.
DHCS has awarded $1.7 billion in BHCIP competitive grants. In addition, DHCS will distribute up to $4.4 billion in competitive Bond BHCIP funding, including $3.3 billion for Round 1: Launch Ready grants as part of Behavioral Health Transformation, DHCS’ work to implement Proposition 1. DHCS holds regular public listening sessions on this effort. Updates and recordings of the sessions are available on the Behavioral Health Transformation webpage.
ABOUT BHCIP ROUND 5: CRISIS AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CONTINUUM: BHCIP Round 5 was developed, in part, through a statewide needs assessment that identified significant gaps in available crisis services. This assessment showed the need for a better crisis care system to reduce emergency department visits, hospitalizations, and incarceration. The 33 awards, totaling $430 million, are being used to build and expand crisis care and behavioral health facilities statewide and will serve vulnerable Californians of all ages, including Medi-Cal members.

Also, St. Anne’s Family Services hosted a groundbreaking (below) for a new short-term residential therapeutic program (STRTP) called STRTP FOR ONE, which annually provides high-quality supportive housing programs, early childhood education, mental health, and family-based services to thousands of young women, children, and families in Los Angeles County.
Both projects were funded by Round 5 of DHCS’ Behavioral Health Continuum Infrastructure Program (BHCIP). DHCS awarded The Whole Child—Mental Health and Housing Services more than $6 million and St. Anne’s Family Services more than $2 million through BHCIP, which is part of California’s ongoing commitment to expand behavioral health services for all Californians. With the passage of Proposition 1, even more behavioral health treatment facilities will be funded and built in 2025 and 2026.
“Expanding community-based behavioral health care services is a top priority for DHCS,” said DHCS Director Michelle Baass. “Residential facilities like these are a vital component of California’s efforts to bring high-quality, trauma-informed care to individuals and families who need it most.”

“As a regional leader in children’s mental health and wellness, we know firsthand how childhood trauma and pain can follow children into adulthood,” said The Whole Child CEO Constanza Pachon. “However, we also know that treatment at an early age can have an enormously positive effect, providing children and teens with the tools and coping skills they need to begin their healing journey. This center, built with BHCIP funding, will be a beacon of hope for our community.”
STRTP FOR ONE: St Anne’s Family Services designed STRTP FOR ONE with one bed that offers highly individualized, comprehensive care to young mothers ages 13-17 who are at risk of multiple placements, homelessness, and incarceration due to their complex mental or behavioral health needs. The program is staffed by a team of highly coordinated and trauma-informed clinical professionals to provide strength-based, client-centered interventions within a home-like environment. The program aims to equip these youth with tools to address their complex trauma, foster independent living skills, and develop real-time parenting skills with natural support.
“We are thrilled to collaborate with DHCS to address the critical mental health needs of young families in our community,” said Lorna Little, MSW, President and CEO of St. Anne’s Family Services. “We are uniquely positioned to provide specialized services to young women in crisis—women who are pregnant or parenting, seeking to reunite with family members, and learning to stabilize within our programs to make a successful transition.”

ແຜນທີ່ໃໝ່ໄດ້ວາງແຜນຍຸດທະສາດເພື່ອສ້າງລະບົບທີ່ມີຄວາມສະເໝີພາບແລະມີຄົນເຈັບເປັນສູນກາງຫຼາຍຂຶ້ນສຳລັບສະມາຊິກ Medi-Cal ທີ່ຖືພາແລະຫຼັງເກີດລູກ.
SACRAMENTO – The Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) today released the Birthing Care Pathway report, a comprehensive plan to improve maternity care for Medi-Cal members. This roadmap covers the journey of all pregnant and postpartum Medi-Cal members from conception through 12 months postpartum, aiming to make care accessible, equitable, and patient-centered.
“The Birthing Care Pathway represents a critical step forward in California’s commitment to improving maternal health,” said DHCS Director Michelle Baass. “By centering member experiences, aligning policies with actionable recommendations, and strengthening partnerships across sectors, we aim to ensure every Medi-Cal member has access to safe, equitable, and comprehensive maternity care.”
KEY OBJECTIVES: The Birthing Care Pathway report details policies DHCS has implemented or is in the process of implementing to support all pregnant and postpartum members enrolled in Medi-Cal. Additionally, the report identifies opportunities for future exploration.
The Birthing Care Pathway prioritizes:
The Birthing Care Pathway will work to achieve these objectives by transforming Medi-Cal’s maternity policy to create a member-centered approach to prenatal and postpartum care that meets members where they are and provides whole-person care that addresses behavioral health and social needs in addition to medical needs. DHCS will revise and modernize existing Medi-Cal policies to provide members with increased choice of types of maternity providers and supports, like doulas, community health workers, and others, and creating critical linkages between health care and other programs across the state to make it easier for members to get the full range of needed services.
Additionally, DHCS will address the needs of special populations who are pregnant/postpartum, including people involved with the justice system, individuals with severe mental health and substance use needs, LGBTQI+ individuals, and Black, American Indian/Alaska Native, and Pacific Islander individuals.
DHCS will continue working with state departments, including the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) and Office of the California Surgeon General (OSG), maternity care and social services providers, state and local leaders, Medi-Cal managed care plans (MCP), birth equity advocates, and other partners to implement the Birthing Care Pathway policies outlined in the report. Continuing to engage a diverse set of partners to implement and further develop the Birthing Care Pathway will be vital to align the numerous maternity initiatives occurring so they are not siloed.
“Through a comprehensive, whole-person approach, California is not just enhancing perinatal health, but we are setting a bold new standard for care that delivers better outcomes for families statewide,” said California Surgeon General Dr. Diana Ramos. “The Birthing Care Pathway is a vital addition to the state’s efforts that advance perinatal health, building on the innovative, collaborative work already underway.”
“Having served rural communities throughout my career, I know that providing access to services from conception through one year postpartum has always been a challenge,” said Dr. Robert Moore, Chief Medical Officer at Partnership HealthPlan of California. “Collaborations like the DHCS Birthing Care Pathway are vital in bringing together multiple partners and stakeholders to find solutions. The entire community must engage on this issue to make lasting progress.”
WHY THIS MATTERS: Nearly one in eight U.S. births occur in California, and 40 percent of those births are covered by Medi-Cal. While California currently has the lowest maternal mortality rate in the nation, Medi-Cal members have a higher rate of maternal mortality than individuals with commercial insurance.
While the Birthing Care Pathway lays out a long-term strategy for transforming maternity care in Medi-Cal, many services and supports are already available to pregnant and postpartum members. Medi-Cal members can access comprehensive maternity care, including prenatal and postpartum visits, doula services, behavioral health care, and lactation support, through their health plan and provider network. DHCS remains committed to improving and expanding these services as part of the ongoing work to implement the Birthing Care Pathway.
ABOUT THE BIRTHING CARE PATHWAY: The Birthing Care Pathway includes policy recommendations that address the physical, behavioral, and health-related social needs of pregnant and postpartum members. Opportunities include improving access to providers, strengthening clinical care and care coordination, providing whole-person care, and modernizing how Medi-Cal pays for maternity care.
The Birthing Care Pathway is part of a multi-year commitment to transforming maternal health in California, and maternal health reform is already underway. DHCS is implementing the federal ten-year Transforming Maternal Health (TMaH) Model in five Central Valley counties: Kern, Fresno, Kings, Tulare, and Madera. TMaH is a delivery and payment model designed to test whether effective implementation of evidence-informed interventions, sustained by a value-based payment model, can improve maternal outcomes and reduce Medi-Cal program expenditures.
COLLABORATIVE PROCESS: The Birthing Care Pathway reflects a collaborative effort of pregnant and postpartum Medi-Cal members, state partners and a range of health care and social services providers, community-based organizations (CBO), and advocates, ensuring a community-informed policy approach to the future of birthing and maternal health care in California. Additionally, the California Health Care Foundation and the David & Lucile Packard Foundation provided funding to support engagement and report development. Key insights from Medi-Cal members highlighted critical needs, such as respect for birth preferences, access to racially concordant and culturally centered care, improved behavioral health support, and better care coordination. Member experiences directly shaped the pathway’s policy recommendations. For more information, please visit the Birthing Care Pathway webpage.
“Learning about the Birthing Care Pathway gave me a sense of relief and hope because it meant I could take care of my and my baby’s health without adding additional stress,” said M. Thao, mother of an 11-month-old baby. “Every time I called for help to navigate resources and to sign up for the program, I received clear guidance from Medi-Cal. That feeling of knowing you’ll be OK is one I hope every birthing parent in California can count on.”
A BROADER VISION FOR MATERNAL HEALTH: DHCS will work with MCPs, providers, CBOs, and other stakeholders to implement TMaH Model elements, which are aligned with and complementary to the Birthing Care Pathway. Additionally, DHCS is working with the California Maternal Quality Care Collaborative, CDPH, and OSG to develop a Maternal Health Strategic Plan by September 2025 to improve maternal health throughout California.

ໂຄງການເພີ່ມຕຽງນອນ Respite ໃຫມ່ສິບຫົກຄົນໃຫ້ຜູ້ທີ່ລໍຖ້າຫຼືອອກຈາກການປິ່ນປົວທີ່ຢູ່ອາໄສ
SACRAMENTO — On January 29, 2025, the Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) attended Placer County’s opening of a new 16-bed adult peer respite that provides a safe, supportive, and home-like environment for adults awaiting placement in residential treatment programs or exiting such programs to a lower level of care. The facility, dubbed “The Harbor,” will begin welcoming clients on February 3 through a referral-based system managed by Placer County’s substance use team.
DHCS awarded Placer County nearly $400,000 through the Behavioral Health Continuum Infrastructure Program (BHCIP), which is part of California’s ongoing commitment to expand behavioral health services for all Californians. With the passage of Proposition 1, even more behavioral health treatment facilities will be funded and built in 2025 and 2026.
“Too often, restrictive inpatient settings are the only option available to people experiencing a mental health crisis,” said DHCS Director Michelle Baass. “Community-based, trauma-informed, and resilience-focused centers like The Harbor have the potential to revolutionize California’s approach to behavioral health treatment and recovery.”
THE HARBOR: The new facility will include peer respite designed to complement the Placer County Health and Human Services Drug Medi-Cal Organized Delivery System (DMC-ODS) treatment continuum by providing a structured environment for people leaving residential placements or awaiting placement. Residents will engage in self-help recovery activities while potentially also participating in outpatient care.
Services provided include ongoing needs assessment across the behavioral health and physical health spectrums, case management, crisis management, trauma-informed individual and group therapy, peer-to-peer supportive services, linkage to cultural supports and services, and other necessary referral services for a safe and efficient discharge back into the community. These services are designed to provide less costly and less intrusive care than those offered in a hospital setting.
“The Harbor will offer a compassionate, supportive environment where individuals can regain their strength, heal, and reconnect with their sense of well-being,” said Placer County Behavioral Health Director Amy Ellis. “This facility is part of Placer County’s ongoing efforts to build and expand its behavioral health infrastructure to respond to people in need.”
WHY BHCIP IS IMPORTANT: Through BHCIP, DHCS awards eligible entities funding to construct, acquire, and expand properties and invest in mobile crisis infrastructure to further expand the range of community-based behavioral health treatment options for people with co-occurring mental health treatment needs and substance use disorders. BHCIP is addressing historic gaps in the behavioral health care system to meet the growing demand for services and supports throughout the lifespan of people in need.
DHCS has awarded $1.7 billion in BHCIP competitive grants. In addition, DHCS will distribute up to $4.4 billion in competitive Bond BHCIP funding, including $3.3 billion for Round 1: Launch Ready grants as part of Behavioral Health Transformation, DHCS’ work to implement Proposition 1. DHCS holds regular public listening sessions on this effort. Updates and recordings of the sessions are available on the Behavioral Health Transformation webpage.
ABOUT BHCIP ROUND 3: LAUNCH READY: BHCIP Round 3 supported preparation activities to plan for the acquisition and expansion of behavioral health infrastructure throughout the state. The 45 awarded facilities were funded a total of $518.5 million. BHCIP applicants were required to demonstrate service expansion for Medi-Cal members and have a valid planning process to ensure projects are ready for implementation.

SACRAMENTO — In response to the Southern California wildfires, the Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) requested and received federal approval from the Biden-Harris administration of several dozen flexibilities to prevent disruptions in health care delivery so Medi-Cal members can continue to receive needed care. 1135 waivers allow the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to waive various administrative requirements to increase access to medical services during a time of national emergency. 1135 waiver approvals remain in effect throughout the duration of the public health emergency declared by former HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra, which is 90 days.

SACRAMENTO — The California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) has been selected by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to implement its Transforming Maternal Health (TMaH) Model, a 10-year Medicaid and Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) delivery and payment model designed to improve maternal health outcomes and reduce health care expenditures through a whole-person approach to pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum care. California is one of 15 states selected to participate in the TMaH Model.
The TMaH Model will implement evidence-informed interventions within a value-based payment (VBP) framework, reimbursing providers based on patient health outcomes and quality of care, rather than the volume of services provided. By focusing on improving maternal outcomes, reducing costs, and enhancing the quality of care, the model aims to reduce low-risk cesareans, lower severe maternal morbidity, and increase access to maternal providers, such as midwives, doulas, and birth centers, for Medi-Cal members.
This initiative will improve the state’s maternal care system, particularly for pregnant Medi-Cal members and their infants, who traditionally experience disparities in maternal health care access and outcomes. The TMaH Model will focus on areas with the greatest need for intervention and resources. DHCS will implement the TMaH Model in five Central Valley counties: Fresno, Kern, Kings, Madera, and Tulare.
“By targeting these high-need counties, we are taking a strategic step toward improving the health and well-being of pregnant people across California, particularly in areas experiencing the greatest maternal health disparities,” said DHCS Director Michelle Baass. “This model will allow us to test innovative approaches to maternal health care, ensuring that every pregnant Medi-Cal member, regardless of their background or circumstances, receives the care they need to have a healthy pregnancy and delivery. Participation in TMaH will advance DHCS’ ability to achieve its maternal health priorities and continue investing in the future of equitable birthing care.”
“TMaH offers a meaningful opportunity to reduce maternal health disparities by increasing access to doulas and midwives in our communities,” said Shantay R. Davies-Balch, President and Chief Executive Officer of Belonging, Love, Affinity, Community, & Kinship (BLACK) Wellness & Prosperity Center. “These professionals are vital advocates for families, providing personalized care and a holistic approach to both prenatal and postpartum support.”
“The CMS Transforming Maternal Health grant strengthens California’s leadership and innovation while taking a crucial step toward reducing health disparities and ensuring mothers in the Central Valley have access to equitable care,” said California Surgeon General Dr. Diana Ramos. “This initiative aligns with our shared commitment to reducing maternal mortality and morbidity, ensuring healthier futures for families across California.”

DHCS will implement the TMaH Model in the five counties characterized by some of the highest pregnancy-related mortality rates in California, where C-sections and rates of prenatal and postpartum depression are higher than the statewide average. There is also a greater need for maternity care providers and health-related social services in these regions compared to others in California.
A STEP FORWARD IN HEALTH EQUITY: For pregnant people, particularly those in rural and underserved areas, this initiative represents a significant opportunity to access improved services that support their birthing plan. The TMaH Model is part of California’s broader commitment to addressing racial and ethnic disparities in maternal health and ensuring that all pregnant people, especially people in low-income communities, receive the support they need to safely navigate pregnancy and childbirth. TMaH is a key pillar in DHCS’ strategy to improve outcomes for pregnant and postpartum individuals.
“This is an important step forward in our ongoing efforts to address maternal health disparities in California,” said Palav Babaria, Chief Quality and Medical Officer and Deputy Director of DHCS’ Quality and Population Health Management. “By testing new models of care, California is leading the way in advancing health equity, particularly for communities that have been historically underserved or disadvantaged in accessing timely, effective maternal care.”
BACKGROUND: The TMaH Model will provide $17 million in funding over the program’s course. CMS will award this funding to DHCS in two phases: $8 million during the three-year pre-implementation period (2025-2027) and $9 million during the seven-year implementation period (2028-2035). DHCS will leverage this funding for technical assistance and infrastructure support that will be made available to providers and key implementation partners in the five counties to meet required milestones, including the rollout of a VBP model aimed at rewarding providers for delivering high-quality care.
The TMaH Model will provide valuable insights into the impact of value-based care models on maternal health. It will emphasize improving care coordination, enhancing provider training, and offering holistic support that accounts for social drivers of health, including housing, food security, and transportation.
BIGGER PICTURE: TMaH aligns with and will be complementary to DHCS’ Birthing Care Pathway, a comprehensive policy and care model roadmap to cover the journey of all pregnant and postpartum Medi-Cal members from conception through 12 months postpartum. The Birthing Care Pathway is being developed to be a strategic roadmap for state entities, managed care plans, counties, providers, social service entities, philanthropy, and other key partners in providing services to pregnant and postpartum Medi-Cal members. The roadmap will include a series of policy recommendations that aim to address the physical, behavioral, and health-related social needs of pregnant and postpartum members by improving access to providers, strengthening clinical care and care coordination across the care continuum, providing whole-person care, and modernizing how Medi-Cal pays for maternity care. Additionally, TMaH aligns with DHCS’ Bold Goals 50×2025 initiative, which was launched in 2022 as a focused campaign to improve the quality and equity of care in three focus areas outlined in DHCS’ Comprehensive Quality Strategy: children’s preventive care, behavioral health integration, and maternity care.
DHCS has already implemented several required TMaH Model elements and other initiatives that will contribute to the success of TMaH, such as adding doula, dyadic care, and community health worker benefits; extending Medi-Cal coverage from 60 days to 12 months postpartum; facilitating enrollment of children and newborns eligible for Medi-Cal through expanding the Children’s Presumptive Eligibility Program and establishing the Newborn Gateway; requiring perinatal screenings and assessments to address whole-person needs; implementing health-related social needs Community Supports services (e.g., housing supports, medically tailored meals); and launching a Birth Equity Population of Focus under the Enhanced Care Management benefit that offers high-touch care management to eligible pregnant and postpartum individuals.
