      <title>South Central Family Health Center Opens New Two-Story Huntington Park Clinic — Counter-Narrative to LA Safety-Net Contraction</title>
      <link>https://www.fqhctalent.com/intel/south-central-family-health-huntington-park-expansion-2026</link>
      <description>South Central Family Health Center is opening a new two-story Huntington Park Family Health Center in early 2026, expanding clinical capacity in Southeast LA. This is a meaningful counter-narrative to LA County&apos;s safety-net contraction story (DPH 7-clinic closures, CHLA layoffs, AltaMed data breach class action). Demonstrates that FQHC expansion is still possible during the crisis convergence — the path forward is capital campaign + operational rigor + community trust. SCFHC&apos;s expansion creates a workforce surge opportunity for displaced LA DPH/CHLA workers and strengthens the SE LA primary-care backbone serving heavily Latino, immigrant, working-class communities.

      <title>L.A. Care Health Plan Lays Off 225 Employees Amid Federal Funding Cuts</title>
      <link>https://www.fqhctalent.com/intel/la-care-225-layoffs</link>
      <description>L.A. Care Health Plan, the nation&apos;s largest publicly operated health plan, files WARN Act notice for 225 employees effective March 13, 2026. The managed care plan cites federal funding reductions. As a major ECM and managed care contractor for LA-area FQHCs, these cuts may ripple into FQHC contract revenue.

      <title>Prospect Medical Holdings: Facility Closures and Asset Sales Across LA County</title>
      <link>https://www.fqhctalent.com/intel/prospect-medical-closures</link>
      <description>Private equity-backed Prospect Medical Holdings continues downsizing LA County operations, closing facilities and selling assets. Community health advocates warn that closures in under-resourced areas push more patients toward FQHCs, increasing demand without corresponding funding increases.

      <title>LA County Public Health Closing 7 Clinics — $50M in Federal, State, and Local Cuts</title>
      <link>https://www.fqhctalent.com/intel/la-county-dph-7-clinics-closing</link>
      <description>Los Angeles County Department of Public Health announced closures of 7 clinics effective February 27, 2026, citing over $50 million in cumulative federal, state, and local funding cuts. Clinics closing include Antelope Valley, Curtis R. Tucker (Inglewood), Pomona, Hollywood Wilshire, Torrance, and two LA locations. Services affected include STI testing, vaccinations, and tuberculosis treatment. Federal funding accounts for approximately 50% of the department&apos;s budget. Patients are being redirected to remaining facilities — increased demand on nearby FQHCs is likely.
