Los Angeles County received a $162-million federal grant Thursday for a three-year program to help low-income adults with no medical insurance manage chronic illnesses.
The California Department of Health Services awarded grants to 10 counties for innovative approaches to improving the quality of care while reining in costs. The program focuses on adults because 90% to 95% of children in California are covered by private insurance or eligible for federal or state programs such as Medi-Cal or Healthy Families, said department Director Sandra Shewry.
