This is a strategy that calls on the vast, complex, and formidable private health care delivery system (e.g. health plans, hospitals, federally qualified health centers and community-based organizations) as equally as the publicly-operated hospitals, public health clinics, and comprehensive health centers that serve the residents of Los Angeles County. This is a strategy that responds to an appeal from the Los Angeles County Commission on HIV (Commission) and hundreds of active and passionate community providers and stakeholders for bold action and a clear vision for ending an epidemic that nears the start of its fifth decade. This is a strategy that introduces an unprecedented level of accountability, and a commitment to the public reporting and monitoring of key performance metrics.
