WHY WE  L.A. CARE PROVIDERS

DEBORAH

“During these last two years of the pandemic, we focused a lot on how to maintain access, but how to do it in a safe way.

The other area had to do with member service and we bent over backwards to think about how to be of particular support to our patients.”

DR. DEBORAH LERNER
EISNER HEALTH

 

MUTHUKUMAR

“We deliberately looked into some of the administrative challenges that physicians have been having.

We redesigned workflows to make it more easier rather than more difficult when they are already having challenges trying to meet the patient demands for care during the pandemic.”

DR. MUTHUKUMAR VAIDYARAMAN
PIH HEALTH PHYSICIANS

 

MARGARET

“If we put the patient first, everything else kind of falls in line. That’s our core belief here. Patient first.”

MARGARET LOUEY
HIGH DESERT MEDICAL GROUP

 

NARCISO

“It’s all about prevention. I find it to be a very, very important measure, because it helps the patient, one, improve quality of care and two, prevents patients from going to the hospital, which makes health care very, very expensive.”

DR. NARCISO AZURIN
TWEEDY MEDICAL GROUP

 

JESSICA

“You were trained for this. You can handle this. You are stronger than you think. Our patients and communities need us and look to us for strength, guidance, and positivity. Keep your head up, what you do everyday matters more than you will ever know.

You are not alone; your fellow healthcare providers and patients are with you. This too shall pass, and we will come out better providers than ever before. We will be even more compassionate, more thankful, and more understanding."

DR. JESSICA KHANKHANIAN
