Focus Area

MCGP funding opportunities in the Access to Care focus area are intended to:

  • Strengthen and expand the provider workforce to address provider shortages.
  • Increases the number of providers who reflect the diversity of the Alliance’s membership.

There are four funding opportunities in the Access to Care focus area:

  • Capital 
  • Data Sharing Support 
  • Healthcare Technology
  • Workforce Recruitment

Learn more about the Access to Care focus area need, goals and priorities below.

Expand All
Funding Need
  • Health care workforce shortages in the Alliance service area impact Medi-Cal members’ access to timely health care services.
  • New provider types are being integrated in the Medi-Cal health care continuum to deliver a range of new non-medical services to address social drivers of health.
  • The existing health care workforce is challenged to reflect the racial, ethnic, cultural and linguistic diversity of Alliance members.
  • Organizations that serve the Medi-Cal population need expanded capacity and infrastructure to increase access to services.
Funding Goals
  • A robust health care workforce that can deliver coordinated, person-centered care and the full array of Medi-Cal services.
  • Improved patient-provider communication and trusted relationships, resulting from an expanded network of Medi-Cal providers who are linguistically and culturally responsive.
  • Medi-Cal members are able to access high-quality care when, where and how they need it.
Funding Priorities
  • Address workforce shortages, infrastructure and capacity gaps.
  • Increase the racial, ethnic, cultural and linguistic diversity of the provider network to better reflect the Alliance’s membership.
  • Improve the coordination, integration and capacity of the behavioral health system, including coordination between the physical health system and behavioral health system.
