Congratulations to Our Top Physicians, Clinics and Medical Groups!
“This is the fourth year of L.A. Care’s Provider Recognition Awards, and the awardees have certainly earned these honors as the pandemic stretched beyond what anyone could have imagined,” said John Baackes, L.A. Care CEO. “We are so grateful for the commitment these providers have shown to serving our members who live in some of the most vulnerable communities in L.A. County – communities hit hardest by COVID-19.”
For the first time, the health plan awarded a Provider Equity Award. L.A. Care created the award to honor health care organizations that are working to reduce health disparities in underserved communities, advancing the health plan’s commitment to providing equitable care to its members. The inaugural award is going to the Los Angeles County Department of Health Services (DHS) for a program that addresses food insecurity and another that works to reduce high blood pressure, L.A.
