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's budget.
