To Improve Health

Welcome to the Los Angeles County Department of Health Services (DHS). Our mission is to improve health and we believe in compassionate and quality medical care. Whether you're a patient, family member, job seeker, or just exploring the public health system, this website will link you to helpful information.

The Los Angeles County public healthcare system, often called the Safety Net, serves more than 10 million residents. We provide healthcare to 700,000 people and treat more than 300,000 emergency and trauma victims every year. Through our integrated network of hospitals, health centers and clinics, we make quality medical and preventive care services accessible in communities across the county.

Many of our services are low cost or no cost, and our Community Health Plan is one of the most affordable and flexible health plans available for individuals and families. Take time to learn more about this and our other community-based wellness programs and see if DHS is the right partner for you.

To long life and good health!
