Three health centers staff free mobile clinics after Boyle Heights warehouse fire
After the Lineage warehouse fire in Boyle Heights, Los Angeles officials opened free mobile clinics from July 4 to July 8, as The LA Local reported. St. John's Community Health, AltaMed and Clínica Romero staffed them.
Lineage has 45 days to say how it will compensate residents and public agencies, and it is unclear if that covers the health centers.
Key points
- Los Angeles ran its fire health response through three of its largest FQHCs, an unbudgeted strain on them.
- Lineage has 45 days to say how it will compensate residents and public agencies; whether FQHC response costs are covered is the open question.
- The case sets a live precedent for how FQHCs are contracted and paid for disaster response.
