Access to Care: Emergency Department Community Health Workers

The Access to Care Program employs Community Health Workers in hospital emergency rooms to assist patients with:

Applying for immediate medical health insurance coverage;
Scheduling follow-up appointments to a local community clinic that can act as their primary care medical home;
Access to free imaging services to patients who qualify (San Fernando Valley only); and
Navigating community resources.

This free program partners with local clinics in the San Fernando Valley to provide patients with a primary medical home, access to a network of physician specialists and free imaging services to patients who qualify.
