L.A. Care Health Plan is pleased to announce the promotion of James Kyle, MD, to the new position of Chief of Equity and Quality Medical Director.
Dr. Kyle joined L.A. Care as Medical Director for Quality Improvement (QI) in April of 2019, leading QI efforts in clinical quality, including health disparities, accreditation initiatives and member and provider surveys.
Late last year, he was named the Medical Director for Quality, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. In that role, Dr. Kyle led the health plan’s enterprise-wide equity efforts outlined in L.A. Care’s Statement of Principles on Social Justice and Systemic Racism.
He will continue to lead these efforts in his new position and promote diversity, equity and inclusion practices that will be evidenced through L.A. Care structures, culture and leadership.
