The awards announced today are part of the Providing Access and Transforming Health (PATH<\/a>) Capacity and Infrastructure, Transition, Expansion, and Development (CITED<\/a>) initiative, which helps local providers grow their ability to deliver whole-person, community-based care. These investments support services and programs, including in-person care coordination, housing support, and other vital resources. 153 organizations across all 58 counties are receiving these funds \u2013 bringing critical, local care to every part of the state.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cPATH CITED represents a vital investment in the future of Medi-Cal and the health of California,\u201d said DHCS Director Michelle Baass.<\/strong> \u201cBy empowering local providers, many of whom serve historically under-resourced communities, we are strengthening the foundation of a more equitable, person-centered delivery system. Together, we\u2019re creating lasting change that connects Medi-Cal members to the care and support they need to live healthier, more fulfilling lives. I\u2019m proud of the progress we\u2019ve made and the partnerships that made it possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

Through the five-year PATH initiative, launched in 2022, California has awarded more than $1.66 billion to over 2,200 community providers to support improved health care management and delivery through the Medi-Cal system. All awardees are committed to serving historically underserved populations. This work has dramatically expanded access for children and youth, with a 120 percent year-over-year increase in early 2025 alone, and delivering over a million services to those who need them.<\/p>\n

These investments not only serve Californians but also result in long-term savings for California\u2019s Medi-Cal program<\/a>, reducing avoidable emergency department visits, hospitalizations, and long-term care use.
