What We Do
AltaMed is one of the nation’s largest community health networks. For more than 45 years, we have provided care to patients in the diverse neighborhoods of Los Angeles and Orange counties. For health care professionals committed to their patients, communities and careers, AltaMed is an excellent opportunity to pursue professional goals with pride and distinction.
AltaMed is a non-profit organization, focused on the needs of our patients and the well-being of our communities. Our commitment to community health compels us to look beyond the walls of our offices and clinics and see not just patients, but new possibilities for community wellness. We have many employees who joined us because their families were AltaMed patients and experienced firsthand that our patients are at the center of all we do.
This approach is helping us meet our ambitious goals. We are continually accredited by The Joint Commission (JCAHO), an organization that ensures quality standards in U.S. medical facilities. We’re the first community health network in the nation to have been designated as a Primary Care Medical Home (PCMH). We’re extremely proud of our achievements in patient satisfaction, with our highest scores accomplished during our period of greatest growth. We’ve expanded to 46 Southern California locations, offering primary medical, dental and senior care. We’re active in community outreach and education, and staffed by dedicated professionals committed to patient care.
Continuously looking for ways to do more for more people, AltaMed is leading the industry in bringing new people into our nation's health care system as the top enroller for Covered California. As we continue to grow, we remain at the forefront of evolving health care systems, serving patients with comprehensive care throughout their entire lives. And we will build on our reputation as a rewarding long-term decision for both patients and professionals who believe that quality health care is everyone’s right.
