薩克拉門托——為了繼續推進加州擴大和現代化其行為健康系統的工作，加州醫療保健服務部 (DHCS)、Homeboy Industries 和社區合作夥伴今天為「天使之家」舉行了奠基儀式。 「天使之家」是位於洛杉磯的一個新園區，由加州選民批准的《行為健康基礎設施債券法案》和 DHCS 的行為健康連續體基礎設施計劃 (BHCIP) 提供支持。
該專案獲得近 2,500 萬美元的 BondBHCIP Round 1: Launch Ready資金，大幅擴展住院、門診和同儕支援服務，對象為尋求藥物使用失調治療的個人，尤其是曾被監禁、從司法系統歸來的人，以及 Homeboy Industries 社區的一員。
完成後，Home of the Angels 校園將包括
院區將住宿治療、朋輩暫息和門診服務整合在一起，讓參與者可以隨著需求的變化，在各個照護層級之間順利轉移。本專案也首次在 Homeboy Industries 的校園內引進有執照的住宿治療，這是一項重要的創新，可加強照顧的連續性、減少對外部轉介的依賴，並擴大本組織以重返社會為重點的全面且富同情心的支援系統。
「DHCS 主任 Michelle Baass 表示：」天使之家反映了 Newsom 政府正在推進的社區解決方案，將治療和康復服務集中在一個屋簷下，更貼近有需要的人們。「這項投資擴大了從司法系統回家的加州人獲得照護的機會，為尊嚴、穩定和長期康復提供了支持」。
重要性： Homeboy Industries成立於洛杉磯，是全國知名的非營利組織，致力於幫助曾經被監禁和曾經參與幫派活動的人。其以創傷知情和文化響應為導向的服務包括行為健康支持、藥物濫用障礙治療、個案管理以及以康復和社區聯繫為核心的重返社會綜合服務。
天使之家通過以下方式支持 DHCS 更廣泛的重返社會行動，包括「涉案司法人員重返社會行動」（Justice-Involved Reentry Initiative）：
"Homeboy Industries 創辦人 Greg Boyle 神父表示：「當人們被溫柔地接納，並在社區中被擁抱時，治療就會發生。"Home of the Angels "反映了我們在 Homeboy Industries 一直以來的信念：當人們被看見、被珍惜，並獲得一個屬於自己的地方時，他們的傷口就會癒合。透過創造植根於愛與尊嚴的空間，我們為復原、希望與新的開始創造空間。
大局觀：邦德 BHCIP 是由 DHCS 管理的一項全州性計劃，旨在幫助社區建設、購買和擴建治療設施，填補危機、住院和門診行為健康護理設施方面長期存在的空白。1 號提案已資助了 333 個設施的 177 個項目，支持新增 6,919 張住宅和住院床位以及 27,561 個門診治療名額，在通過僅兩年後就超過了全州目標。自 2021 年以來，BHCIP 已撥款 58 億美元，用於加強全州的危機護理、住院護理和門診護理。
在全州大量投資、新政策以及強大的社區合作夥伴關係的支持下，加州正在建立一個全面且公平的行為健康照護連續體系，以確保人們可以在需要的時間和地點獲得預防、危機支援、治療以及長期康復服務。
從更宏觀的角度來看：加州對天使之家的投資是加州透過 1 號提案和州長加文紐森的「全民心理健康」策略正在進行的更廣泛變革的一部分。本月初，州長宣布將六棟空置的州屬建築改建為新的洛杉磯縣護理社區，並投入 6500 萬美元的 1 號提案資金，以創造 162 個新的住房和治療床位。該計畫與 BHCIP 資助的「天使之家」等計畫一起，體現了政府為擴大行為健康護理的覆蓋範圍、提高治療能力以及幫助患有嚴重精神疾病、藥物濫用障礙或無家可歸的加州人獲得所需的護理和穩定而開展的全面工作。

提案 1 為 Inner-Tribal Wellness Village 在聖地牙哥縣擴展藥物使用障礙和心理健康治療服務鋪路
SACRAMENTO- 加州長 Gavin Newsom 承諾擴大加州行為健康系統並使其現代化，為了實現這一承諾，加州健康照護服務部 (DHCS) 於 3 月 20 日與 Inner-Tribal Treatment 及社區合作夥伴一起為位於 Pauma Valley 的新 Inner-Tribal Wellness Village 進行破土動工。在加州選民通過的行為健康基礎建設債券法案和州行為健康連續基礎建設計畫 (BHCIP) 的支持下，本計畫包括近 2,000 萬美元的債券 BHCIP 第一輪：啟動準備資金，以大幅擴展區域藥物使用失調 (SUD) 和心理健康治療能力。這是數百項 1 號提案投資之一，可加強加州以社區為基礎的持續行為健康照護。
"DHCS 總監 Michelle Baass 表示：「加州的投資反映了對公平和治療的世代承諾。"Inner-Tribal Wellness Village 將提供個人可以找到安全、尊嚴和聯繫的空間，以文化為基礎，並圍繞其服務對象的需求而建立。
該校園將為聖地牙哥縣及周邊地區需要行為健康治療和支援的部落社區提供服務。Inner-Tribal Wellness Village 落成後，將包括一個設有 60 張床位的成人 SUD 住宿治療設施，以及一個設有 120 個門診名額的社區心理健康診所，估計每年可為 500 人提供服務。
重要原因：自 2021 年以來，Inner-Tribal Treatment 已為聖地牙哥縣的 18 個聯邦認可部落以及河畔縣和聖貝納迪諾縣的 12 個部落提供文化肯定服務。新校舍將擴展這項工作，將傳統的治療方法與以實證為基礎的臨床治療相結合，創造一個全方位的照護和康復環境。校園的特色將包括供交談圈、熏香、傳統教義和文化儀式使用的空間，以及臨床模式，包括認知行為治療和其他可幫助人們建立長期健康技能的成熟治療方法。
"Inner-Tribal Treatment 創辦人兼執行長 Robert Aguilar 表示：「這項計畫代表著我們在加強部落社區的心理健康、藥物使用障礙和健康服務方面，向前邁進了重要的一步，因為部落社區在獲得照護方面一直以來都面臨重大的差異。"Inner-Tribal Wellness Village 將成為一個重要的癒合中心，在一個沒有標籤的環境中，讓個人能夠在文化與精神肯定的空間中，掌握自己的健康與福祉。
Inner-Tribal Wellness Village 反映了一種持續的投資，它擴大了區域治療能力，並使加州更接近建立一個更強大、更公平、更負責任的行為醫療系統的目標。
大圖景： 加州選民於 2024 年 3 月通過的提案 1 授權 DHCS 撥出高達 44 億美元的債券資金，用於擴展全州的行為健康治療基礎設施。該計畫正在創造數以千計的新住宿床位和門診治療名額，優先處理高需求社區，包括部落和農村地區。根據提案 1：
加州正在建立全面的持續行為健康照護，提供從預防和早期介入到治療、危機應變和長期復原的全方位支援。此方法旨在確保每一位加州人，尤其是那些歷來在獲得照護方面面臨最大障礙的加州人，能夠在他們需要的時間和地點獲得高品質的心理健康和 SUD 治療。
在大量投資、新政策和強大合作夥伴關係的支持下，加州正在擴展治療服務和支援性住房，同時加強勞動力並使其多元化。透過優先處理預防、早期支援以及針對個人需求量身打造的服務，加州正在幫助人們在適當的時間獲得適當的照護，從而在全州範圍內實現更好的健康成果和更強大的社區。

SACRAMENTO — The Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) is coordinating a statewide Smile, California bilingual outreach campaign to help children and families understand the importance of early and regular dental care and to encourage the use of free Medi-Cal Dental preventive services. The campaign includes easy-to-use English and Spanish-language materials that explain what families can expect during dental visits and how to access care under Medi-Cal. It aims to reduce barriers to care by helping children feel prepared and parents feel confident about scheduling preventive dental visits.
“Dental problems don’t just cause pain—they interrupt learning, impact confidence, and widen achievement gaps,” said Dana Durham, Chief of DHCS’ Medi-Cal Dental Services Division. “The good news is that most of these issues are preventable, and Medi-Cal covers regular dental care for children at no cost to families.”
Throughout National Children’s Dental Health Month, Smile, California is encouraging parents, schools, and community partners to help children build healthy habits, including brushing twice a day, flossing daily, eating nutritious foods, and visiting the dentist regularly.
To support families, Smile, California released a new digital storybook, Jasmín Goes to the Dentist, in English and Spanish. It walks children step-by-step through a regular check-up. From the bright light above the chair to the tools hygienists use to clean teeth, the story helps normalize the experience, showing children that dental visits can be comfortable, friendly, and even fun.
這本小冊子也包括給家長的特別部分，鼓勵在家中公開談論牙齒保健，並提醒家庭 Medi-Cal 免費承保整個家庭的預防和修復服務。
WHY THIS MATTERS: Dental problems are one of the most common, yet preventable, health issues affecting children in California. When children receive preventive care early and regularly, families can avoid unnecessary dental pain, reduce missed school days, and decrease the need for emergency treatment later in life. The new bilingual campaign supports families in navigating dental care and understanding covered benefits through Medi-Cal Dental.
Recent data show that more than 350,000 children and teens missed at least one school day because of dental issues, demonstrating the impact untreated dental problems can have on student well-being and their ability to learn, adding up to more than 869,000 lost school days and a cost of roughly $60 million to school districts.
ABOUT MEDI-CAL DENTAL: All children and teens enrolled in Medi-Cal qualify for two free dental check-ups each year, along with cleanings, fluoride treatments, sealants, and other preventive services. Adults age 21 and older can receive one free dental check-up each year, in addition to other covered services. Parents can find a Medi-Cal dentist and learn more at SmileCalifornia.org.

SACRAMENTO — The California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) today announced the release of the Implementation Plan for New Federal Eligibility and Enrollment Changes Under H.R. 1, outlining the state’s approach to implementing new federal requirements under H.R. 1. These changes, which start as early as October 2026, are expected to impact millions of Californians statewide.
“California is committed to implementing these federally required changes in a way that protects coverage and supports our members,” said DHCS Director Michelle Baass. “Our goal is to make this transition as smooth as possible by providing clear information, reducing administrative burdens, and working closely with members, counties, health plans, and community partners.”
DHCS 正努力將 Medi-Cal 會員的中斷情況減至最低，並維持承保的連續性。該計劃提供即將發生的變更的詳細資訊、執行的指導原則，以及供會員和利害關係人準備過渡的資源。約有 200 萬名 Medi-Cal 會員，主要在新擴大的成人群組中，有可能因這些聯邦變更而失去醫療保險。
該計劃的主要原則包括
DHCS will host an All-Comer Webinar on February 5 to review the plan and answer questions. Learn more and read the plan.

新數據顯示強化照護管理和社區支援有顯著的成長
Sacramento —加州Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) ) 今天發布了新的數據，顯示增強護理管理 (ECM) 和社區支持持續增長並產生影響，這是California在California推進和創新Medi-Cal ( CalAIM ) 倡議下進行Medi-Cal轉型的關鍵組成部分。
“These services help Medi-Cal members stay healthier and avoid other, costlier care, such as emergency department visits and hospital stays,” said DHCS Director Michelle Baass. “We appreciate the hard work and commitment of Medi-Cal managed care plan providers and partners. Together, we are building a health care delivery system that supports whole-person care for Medi-Cal members.”
最新的季度報告包括自 2022 年 1 月以來的趨勢，以及 2025 年 4 月至 6 月的新資料，涵蓋州、縣及管理式保健計劃層級的會員服務、服務使用及提供者網路資訊。
ECM REACHES MORE CALIFORNIANS: ECM helps people with complex health and social needs, including homelessness, serious mental illness, or frequent hospital visits, coordinate the care they need, wherever they are. Since its launch in January 2022, ECM has connected more than 451,000 Medi-Cal members to high-touch, person-centered care coordination through a Lead Care Manager who helps navigate physical, behavioral, and social services.
2025 年第二季，ECM 的註冊人數增加，尤其是兒童和青少年。超過 47,000 名兒童及青少年接受了 ECM，較去年同期增加 102%。近 3,600 名從監獄過渡的成人和超過 16,000 名無家可歸的兒童和青少年也接受了 ECM，與去年同期相比分別增加了 83% 和 164%。為了滿足這項需求，醫療服務提供者網路大幅擴張，服務這些族群的醫療服務提供者年比增加超過 80%。
“Every expansion means more Californians have access to services that keep them stable, healthy, and supported,” said State Medicaid Director Tyler Sadwith. “We’re focused on making these programs even more accessible and responsive to the communities we serve.”
COMMUNITY SUPPORTS GROWTH: Community Supports provide cost-effective, community-based alternatives to traditional medical care, addressing housing, nutrition, and other social drivers of health. Since launching in January 2022, these services have become a cornerstone of whole-person care in Medi-Cal.
截至 2025 年 6 月，已有超過 52 萬名 Medi-Cal 會員使用社區支援服務，全州共提供超過 130 萬項服務。服務範圍持續擴大，幾乎所有 Medi-Cal 會員現在都可獲得至少 10 項社區支援服務，而且大多數（94%）會員都可選擇全套服務。醫療量身訂做的膳食和住房相關服務仍然是使用率最高的服務之一。
WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT: The growth of ECM and Community Supports reflects California’s commitment. These services are critical tools in addressing challenges, such as homelessness, behavioral health access, and support for families and youth with complex needs.
作為改善健康成果承諾的一部份，加州擴大了「涉案司法人員重返社區行動」（Justice-Involved Reentry Initiative），要求管理式照護計劃在釋放前 90 天內提供照護協調以及醫療和行為健康服務，以確保重返社區期間照護的連續性。這項計畫透過釋放前服務為會員提供支援，並透過釋放後 ECM 連繫持續照護，於 2024 年 10 月在三個縣啟用，並於 2025 年 2 月擴展至州立監獄，目前已在 13 個縣投入運作。全州所有縣都必須在 2026 年 10 月前提供這些服務。
INVESTING IN CAPACITY: To support the expansion of ECM and Community Supports, DHCS has awarded more than $1.66 billion through its Providing Access and Transforming Health (PATH) initiatives, including Capacity and Infrastructure Transition, Expansion, and Development (CITED), Collaborative Planning and Implementation, Justice-Involved Capacity Building program, and Technical Assistance Marketplace. These funds help community-based organizations, clinics, and local agencies grow their capacity by hiring staff, upgrading systems, and improving care coordination. The fourth and final round of PATH CITED grant awardees was announced in November 2025.
WHAT’S NEXT: DHCS will continue listening to Medi-Cal members who use ECM and Community Supports. Feedback gathered through surveys, focus groups, and other outreach will guide improvements to make these services easier to access, more effective, and more responsive to California’s diverse communities.

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 和社區支援正在改變 Medi-Cal，讓有複雜健康需求的人遠離急診室、療養院和無家可歸者。這些服務提供親自動手的照護協調和實際支援，例如住家導覽、醫療量身訂做的膳食和居家改裝，協助會員管理慢性疾病並在家裡安全地康復。透過滿足醫療和社會需求，ECM 和社區支援可在危機發生之前加以預防，從而改善健康狀況並減少昂貴的醫院就診次數。
實際影響：一段新的影片（上圖）展示了第一輪獲獎者的聲音，他們討論了這些資金對他們服務 Medi-Cal 會員的能力的影響。從擴大行為健康服務到推出創新的外展Program ，這些故事突出了當地合作夥伴如何成為Medi-Cal提供者，並推動變革，從而為加州人帶來持久的健康益處。 一些成功的項目包括：
BY THE NUMBERS:
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. To explore more impact stories, visit the PATH CITED website or email questions to cited@ca-path.com.
第二輪專案預計將於今年年初定案，延續此一趨勢。 迄今為止，DHCS 已透過其 PATH 計畫，包括 CITED、協作規劃與執行、司法介入能力建構計畫和技術協助市場等，向 2,200 多個組織提供了超過 16.6 億美元的獎金。
