With the goal of reducing disparities in health and healthcare for those most in need, Cedars-Sinai has launched a multiyear Community Clinic Initiative that strives to strengthen L.A.'s safety net. Yearlong programs focus on quality care, leadership development, financial strength and data analysis in clinics that represent the backbone of care for L.A.'s poor and uninsured. More than two-thirds of the community clinics in Cedars-Sinai's service area are participating in this initiative, designed to develop capabilities that will enable them to more optimally respond to patients' complex needs over the long term in a changing healthcare landscape.
