About
Summary: - The Los Angeles County Department of Health Services (LAC DHS) is a government health system operating LA County’s public hospitals and clinics, including major centers like LAC+USC, Harbor–UCLA, Olive View–UCLA, and Rancho Los Amigos, plus multiple outpatient clinics. - It is the second-largest municipal health system in the U.S. and runs a broad range of services, including online care, patient rights information, language access, and bill payment. - DHS historically operated free health programs (Healthy Way LA and My Health LA) until 2024, with Medi-Cal expansion influencing access. - Key facts: formed in 1972 (from the former LA County Health Department), annual operating budget around several billion dollars (reported $4.2B in 2016), headquarters in Downtown LA, and about 1,069 employees (as listed in highlights). - Contact and access: main HQ at 313 N. Figueroa Street, Los Angeles, CA 90012; phone options include 844-804-0055. Note on user query: - If you are seeking Positive Care/HIV-specific information in Watts (a neighborhood in LA), DHS operates countywide HIV/AIDS and primary care services through its network, but this page does not provide Watts-specific program details. For targeted HIV-positive care in Watts, I recommend contacting DHS directly or checking their online care and patient services sections for HIV/AIDS programs, enrollment help, and Watts-area clinic availability.
