Los Angeles, CA, August 17, 2026 —
CalOptima Health is broadening the reach of its street medicine program, extending services to individuals experiencing homelessness in four additional Orange County cities: Fountain Valley, Huntington Beach, Seal Beach, and Westminster. This expansion signifies a concerted effort to deliver essential healthcare directly to an often underserved population within these communities.
The expanded initiative will offer a comprehensive suite of services, including primary healthcare, behavioral health support, and crucial case management. The goal of providing these services directly on the streets is to overcome barriers to traditional healthcare access that unhoused individuals frequently encounter.
By bringing medical professionals and support staff to the locations where unhoused individuals reside or congregate, CalOptima Health aims to foster trust and provide consistent care. This approach is designed to address both immediate health needs and connect individuals with longer-term resources and support systems necessary for stability.
The specific details regarding the timeline for the full implementation of the program in each of the four new cities, as well as any new partnerships or resources being allocated for this expansion, were not immediately provided. However, the move underscores a growing recognition of the critical role street medicine plays in addressing public health challenges related to homelessness in Orange County.
