AltaMed’s Community Response to COVID-19
AltaMed has created a Community Response to keep our communities and patients safe and healthy as well as address the clinical and non-clinical implications of an outbreak. We need your support. We can’t do this alone. Click here to donate.
AltaMed is launching a three-pronged plan, which will:
- Increase staffing and supply additional equipment across 34 medical and PACE sites. This includes both clinic and support staff (e.g., non-medical staff for phone banks);
- Expand community triage capabilities, including “drive-through testing,” a nurse advice line, and home visits for our most at-risk patients;
- Extend clinical hours for Urgent Care and Clinical Sites.

AltaMed is projecting at least $600,000 per day in additional expenses over four weeks (or as long as necessary), with an estimated total of $16.8M.
While this is a substantial amount, AltaMed recognizes that gifts of all sizes will help one neighbor at a time.
AltaMed cannot do this alone. Please join us to help our community get through this public health crisis.
