Join the Fight and Keep Our Access

CalOptima has eliminated access to four critical, award-winning hospitals in Orange County placing patients and our families at risk: Garden Grove Hospital, Huntington Beach Hospital, La Palma Intercommunity Hospital, and West Anaheim Medical Center. These hospitals were eliminated from network on February 5, 2024, so we must act now to protect our care, our families and the access we deserve.
