Immigrant Heritage Month was started in 2014 by the I Stand With Immigrants Initiative.
What we’re celebrating
The Alliance serves people from many diverse cultures and backgrounds. Immigrants help make our communities stronger, kinder and more connected. This is a time to celebrate the many ways that immigrants give to and share in our communities.
We know that our communities are stronger because of immigrants.
Medi-Cal for immigrant families
We support health equity all year long. You can safely get health care services, no matter your immigration status. Under the public charge rule, immigrants can get many public benefits without fear that it will affect their immigration status. This includes Medi-Cal. To learn more about services for Medi-Cal members, please go to the Get Care area of our website.
We want you to know that you can safely get health care services. This is true regardless of immigration status.
Our staff and doctors know it’s important to treat each person with care and respect. We work to provide care that helps all members feel seen and heard. We want to meet your health care needs so that you can be as healthy as possible.
If you do not speak English, don’t worry. The Alliance has language assistance for our members. You can get interpreter services and information in your preferred language.
If you are a Medi-Cal member and you need help getting health care services, we are here for you! Please call our Member Services team at 800-700-3874, Monday-Friday from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
If you need language assistance, we have a special telephone line to get an interpreter who speaks your language at no cost to you. For the Hearing or Speech Assistance Line, call 800-735-2929 (TTY: Dial 711).
Community resources
Local schools and community groups offer resources for immigrant families. Talk to your child’s school staff to ask about programs. Another resource for migrants is the Central Coast Citizenship Project. You can call them at 831-422-4626 to get more information.
