Local Plans
Lasting Change
"Local health plans enhance health outcomes and strengthen the social fabric of their communities. By promoting health equity, advocating quality, and partnering with community organizations, local health plans have a profound impact on the health and wellbeing of the populations they serve.”

Local needs
drive local investments
Local plans’ relationships with CBOs, counties, providers, and other partners have developed over many years.
Many organizations rely on local plan funding to remain operational and deliver highly impactful support.
Many hyper-local organizations are skilled at providing core services, but easily overwhelmed by administrative duties.
Local plans must be nimble to respond to emerging issues or changes in geographic, racial/ethnic, or socioeconomic needs.
Holistic & Objective approach
Local plans approach community reinvestment holistically, incorporating community input, data, experience with trusted partners, and awareness of other local projects.
Local plans review community needs from a global perspective. This allows local plans to focus on more underserved areas, populations, or categories to ensure a broad spectrum of programs are being funded and community needs as a whole are being addressed.
Community stakeholders weigh in on local plan investments
Community reinvestment
is a long-standing practice
Local plans have been reinvesting in their communities for many years. Their commitment is steadfast, as demonstrated by their increasing levels of reinvestment over the last five years.
​
While the magnitude of investments depends on many factors, including overall Medi-Cal funding in any given year, local plans have consistently prioritized community reinvestments.
