Eastern Plumas Health Care’s CalAIM (California Advancing and Innovating Medi-Cal) ECM (Enhanced Care Management) program continues to grow thanks to a third round of funding through the Department of Health Care Services. This funding, $1,743,684, will primarily support the renovation of office space, providing five offices, welcome area, break room, bathrooms and conference space, in addition to wages and benefits for a third ECM Case Manager.

With this third round of funding, EPHC anticipates doubling current membership by the end of 2025. These services directly impact community members who have the highest care needs. Healthier community members contributing to a healthier community are the program’s indirect impacts. While planning for the renovated space has been decided, details have yet to be determined. Like many renovations, the scope of work, including projected timelines, is still in progress.

As developments for the CalAIM program and additional space for its use occur, Garneau will keep the community informed. If you’d like more information about the CalAIM program now, contact EPHC’s CalAIM team at 530-832-6622 or Joanna Garneau directly at 530-832-6632.
