Santa Clara County Assumes Control of Health Care Program
June 1, 2025 - 01:57
In a significant shift for local health care, Santa Clara County is set to take over the management of its health care program, impacting approximately 300,000 residents enrolled in the Santa Clara Family Health Plan. As part of this transition, the county plans to remove a majority of the governing board currently overseeing the program.
This decision comes in response to ongoing challenges in managing health services effectively within the region. The county aims to streamline operations and enhance the quality of care provided to its residents. By assuming control, officials hope to address issues such as access to services, patient satisfaction, and financial sustainability.
The transition is expected to bring about changes in policy and administration, as the county seeks to implement a more responsive and community-focused approach to health care. Stakeholders are closely monitoring the developments, with many hopeful that this move will lead to improved health outcomes for the community.
