*Public Health Ending Clinic Services at Seven Locations Due to Significant Funding Cuts*

Facing significant fiscal challenges due to a more than $50 million dollar cut in federal, state and local funding, the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health is consolidating and ending clinic services at seven locations on February 27, 2026.

Public Health Clinics provide several services, including vaccinations, sexually transmitted infection (STI) testing and treatment and tuberculosis (TB) testing and treatment. Services will continue to be provided at six remaining Public Health Clinics and nearby community health clinics.

Other non-clinical services and programs will still be available at all locations except Dr. Ruth Temple Health Center. 

“Public Health is facing serious funding challenges that are reducing our ability to continue all existing programs and forcing the closure of several Public Health clinics,” said *Barbara Ferrer*, Ph.D., M.P.H., M.Ed., Director of the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health. “Fortunately, investments over the last decade have increased the availability of community health care providers offering comprehensive health services. While public health clinics offer important  services and the closures are deeply upsetting, underscoring the real consequences of disinvestment in public health, clinic patients will be connected to appropriate services that meet their needs. We are working closely with community-based organizations and clinical partners to ensure a smooth transition. ”

*Background*

Public Health is facing significant fiscal pressures due to a $50 million reduction in federal, state and local grant and contract revenues. Funding reductions, along with increased operational costs require Public Health to consolidate and/or reduce services. Continued uncertainty regarding federal funding, which account for almost 50% of the Public Health budget, may result in additional service disruptions.
