ChapCare Moving Forward
CHAPCARE HEALTH CENTERS
by Staff Writer El Monte
Per ChapCare’s comprehensive, five-year strategic plan (FY15 to FY19), the organization’s goal is to invest in infrastructure, capital, and systems to support the existing clinical operation, significantly expand the breadth of services we provide, and increase access points from which patients can obtain our services. Together, this will maximize the quality of the care we provide while increasing access to care. In addition, it will ensure that patients are accessing services at the appropriate place, in a cost-effective way, guiding patients to urgent care centers (as needed), and utilizing the hospital emergency rooms as a provider of last resort, which will save ChapCare and the overall health system a significant amount of money. Key projects will include renovating our Fair Oaks health center and opening the new Lake health center (both are located in northwest Pasadena); and expanding access to telemedicine specialty consults through a regional telemedicine specialty
