139 ອົງການຈັດຕັ້ງຊຸມຊົນສຳເລັດໂຄງການ, ເສີມສ້າງການດູແລ 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.

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.
- ໃນເຂດ Los Angeles, ສູນຕ້ານການຕິດເຫຼົ້າສຳລັບແມ່ຍິງ ໄດ້ສະໜັບສະໜູນບຸກຄົນ 275 ຄົນລະຫວ່າງເດືອນມັງກອນ 2023 ແລະເດືອນມິຖຸນາ 2025 ຜ່ານ ECM, ລວມທັງລູກຄ້າຄົນໜຶ່ງທີ່ເອົາຊະນະຄວາມບໍ່ມີທີ່ຢູ່ອາໄສ ແລະ ຄວາມຜິດປົກກະຕິໃນການໃຊ້ສານເສບຕິດ ຈົນກາຍເປັນນັກຄວາມງາມທີ່ໄດ້ຮັບການຮັບຮອງ ພ້ອມດ້ວຍທີ່ຢູ່ອາໄສ ແລະ ການຈ້າງງານທີ່ໝັ້ນຄົງ.
BY THE NUMBERS:
- ຜູ້ໃຫຍ່ປະມານ 98,000 ຄົນ ແລະ ຊາວໜຸ່ມ 30,700 ຄົນ ໄດ້ຮັບການບໍລິການ ECM.
- ສະມາຊິກ Medi-Cal ປະມານ 97,000 ຄົນໄດ້ເຂົ້າເຖິງການສະໜັບສະໜູນຈາກຊຸມຊົນ.
- ມີພະນັກງານໃໝ່ຫຼາຍກວ່າ 4,100 ຄົນໄດ້ຮັບການຈ້າງ ແລະ ຝຶກອົບຮົມ, ລວມທັງຜູ້ຈັດການດ້ານການດູແລ ແລະ ພະນັກງານເຜີຍແຜ່ຂໍ້ມູນ, ເຊິ່ງເສີມສ້າງຄວາມສາມາດຂອງອົງການຈັດຕັ້ງທ້ອງຖິ່ນໃນການໃຫ້ການດູແລແບບຮອບດ້ານ.
- 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.
