Donation to Keep School Clinics Open for Now
A publicly funded health plan is donating $200,000 to temporarily reopen four school-based medical clinics in Los Angeles County that closed recently because of budget cuts.
The grant from L.A. Care Health Plan will allow the clinics at four L.A. Unified schools to operate for four months, said John Wallace, a spokesman for the county Department of Health Services. The clinics provided free walk-in services to about 200 children each month.
To keep the centers open after the four months, Wallace said, the Board of Supervisors will have to look for more funds.
