Food insecurity is rising in L.A. County, affecting the most vulnerable, including children and seniors. The recent federal shutdown led to critical cuts in food assistance, highlighting a crucial health issue as families lack access to nutritious meals. 👥

In her latest Los Angeles Business Journal op-ed, L.A. Care CEO Martha Santana-Chin underscores the urgent need to take immediate action against food insecurity through donations, volunteering, or supporting a neighbor in need. 🍎🩺

That’s why L.A. Care has committed $5.4 million to local food programs and launched a “Month of Action” this November to encourage others to help those in need.

✨ Congratulations to L.A. Care’s 2025 Elevating the Safety Net Scholar Recipient, Hermona Okbu! ✨

Raised in Inglewood, Hermona stepped into the role of advocate early—translating medical and disability paperwork, guiding her parents through complex systems, and caring for her younger siblings while pursuing her own education. These experiences didn’t just shape her resilience; they ignited her passion for health equity and her determination to uplift the communities she calls home.

Now, as a full-ride scholarship recipient through L.A. Care’s Elevating the Safety Net program, Hermona is pursuing her medical degree at Charles R. Drew University of Medicine and Science. She carries forward the same commitment she once showed her family—preparing to stand beside patients with empathy, cultural humility, and unwavering dedication.

💬 “I want to do my absolute best to advocate and support my community both inside and outside of the hospital.”

Through this program, L.A. Care is proud to invest in future physicians like Hermona—leaders who will bring lived experience and a vision for a healthier Los Angeles. 💙

🦷 Dental care should never be out of reach.
Yet for many Angelenos, cavities and gum disease, both preventable, remain untreated because access is limited.

That’s why L.A. Care Health Plan is investing $1.54 million through its Oral Health Initiative, supporting 16 community clinics and helping more than 25,000 patients get the care they need.🪥👥

The funding will upgrade dental systems, expand teledentistry and mobile dental services and provide advanced imaging equipment.

Honoring those who continue to serve. 💙

L.A. Care gathered for our Veteran Day Luncheon, a special time to thank and celebrate the veterans who are part of the L.A. Care family.

The gathering was a reminder that service doesn’t end when the uniform comes off – it continues in every effort to uplift others and create healthier communities across Los Angeles County.

To all who have served and continue to make a difference, we salute you. 🙏

Happy Veteran’s Day!
