My Health LA
My Health LA (abbreviated MHLA) is a no-cost health care program for low-income Los Angeles County residents, designed to benefit between 400,000 to 700,000 undocumented immigrants in the County.[1][2] The program establishes a network of community clinics who provide primary care needs for enrolled patients under the medical home model.[3] The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors allocated US$ in annual funding to support the program.[4]
The program, which was launched on October 1, 2014, is administered by the Los Angeles County Department of Health Services.[2] MHLA succeeded the County's previous program, Healthy Way LA. As of December 31, 2015, MHLA has enrolled 135,661 patients.[5]
