All of L.A. Care's work focuses on the goals and priorities of Vision 2024, a three-year strategic plan for enhancing health plan operations. Vision 2024 highlights four principal directions for our organization: Operational Excellence, High Quality Network, Member Centric Care, and Health Leadership. Through continuous improvements in these areas, L.A. Care's overriding goal is to foster a healthy community in which all have access to the health care they need.
Here are some key measures that demonstrate this commitment to excellence and our efforts to fulfill Vision 2024.
