Orange County Health Collaboration Gets National Recognition: Wins ACAP “Supporting the Safety Net” Award

Health Funders Partnership of Orange County, an innovative collaborative serving the health care needs of thousands of low-income people in California, was presented with the fifth annual “Supporting the Safety Net” award by the Association for Community Affiliated Plans (ACAP) at its annual CEO Summit in Washington, DC.

 

The Partnership is a collaboration of 17 organizations working to enhance health philanthropy and health care delivery for uninsured and underinsured residents of the county by coordinating efforts and sharing resources.  It manages initiatives ranging from addressing diabetes and the shortage of specialty care to providing greater access to care for children and adults.

 

The “Supporting the Safety Net” award recognizes a community-based organization or individual that has implemented exemplary, innovative programs to meet the health needs of high-risk populations and can serve as a model of “best practices” for other communities.

ACAP Celebrating Its 10th Anniversary!

ACAP is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year! The association was originally formed by health plans affiliated with community health centers, but it soon expanded to represent other community-based, nonprofit health plans.  Today, ACAP plans are the backbone of the Medicaid managed care program, which since 2000 has grown from serving 12 million to nearly 22 million low-income Americans.  Several ACAP members also operate Medicare Special Needs Plans (SNPs), managed long-term care plans, and state and local initiatives for the uninsured.
