The Los Angeles County Alliance for Health Integration is the term used by Los Angeles County to refer to the ongoing integration efforts of its three health departments. Previously, the Los Angeles County Health Agency (sometimes stylized as Health Agency of Los Angeles) was the title of a Los Angeles County agency composed of the Los Angeles County Department of Health Services, the Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health, and the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health and tasked in 2015 by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors with the coordination of all health related activities in the County.[1] These health departments, sometimes collectively referred to as the Health Agency, remain among the United States' largest and the agency was established to coordinate and streamline the county's physical health, behavioral health, and public health care services, programs, and policies under a single integrated system of care.[2][3]
Beginning in 2020, integration efforts between the departments continued through the newly-formed Alliance for Health Integration. Since March 2023 the AHI office has not been independently staffed although integration efforts of the three health departments remain a Board-Directed Priority and are still referred to as AHI efforts.[4] The continuing AHI reports made to the Board are now delivered by the Department of Health Services.[5]
