Community Clinic Association of Los Angeles County

Through advocacy and education, CCALAC seeks to ensure and sustain healthcare funding for medically indigent, uninsured and vulnerable populations that are served by community clinics and health centers (CCHCs).

The association's staff works with local, state and federal officials and other stakeholders to exchange information about new developments; to educate decision-makers about the impacts of proposed legislation on underserved people and on our member clinics; and to make sure that free and community clinics are incorporated into local plans for service delivery and funding streams.

CCALAC works cooperatively with the California Primary Care Association and California’s 15 Regional Consortia on State issues, and the National Association of Community Health Centers on Federal issues.

Through the Compensated Care and Public Policy Advisory Group and the membership meetings, CCALAC reviews and takes position on legislative and regulatory issues. Both of these groups meet regularly and are open to our full membership. They provide a forum for CCALAC staff and our members to engage in two-way dialogue about pending legislation, public policy initiatives and regulatory issues.
