CalOptima Street Medicine
In partnership with the City of Garden Grove and Healthcare in Action, CalOptima Health launched Orange County’s first street medicine program to deliver comprehensive health care to individuals experiencing homelessness through a street medicine model. Through a contract, Healthcare in Action will provide primary care to up to 200 CalOptima Health members using a medical van to canvas the Garden Grove community and reach members living in parks, under freeways, and other unsheltered spaces. Services will include primary care, behavioral health, case management, and expanded whole-person care resources now available through CalAIM, a state initiative offering a new set of Medi-Cal benefits that includes housing services.
